Oscar Wilde was an Anglo-Irish playwright,
novelist, poet, and critic. He is regarded as one of the greatest playwrights
of the Victorian Era. In his lifetime he wrote nine plays, one novel, and
numerous poems, short stories, and essays. Wilde was a proponent of the
Aesthetic movement, which emphasized aesthetic values more than moral or social
themes. This doctrine is most clearly summarized in the phrase 'art for art's
sake'. Besides literary accomplishments, he is also famous because He was tried
and imprisoned for his homosexual relationship (then considered a crime) with
the son of an aristocrat.
