作者簡介
About the Author
Oscar Wilde is an Irish author who is famous for his poetry, plays and children’s stories. Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854. His father was a doctor and his mother a poet. He went to Oxford to study and was popular because he was both funny and clever.
His first book, Poems, was published in 1881. In 1884 he married Constance Lloyd and he wrote the charming fairy tales, The Happy Prince and Other Tales for their sons.
His novel The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in 1890 but the Victorians were shocked by the story.
Wilde became famous with his plays Lady Windermere’s Fan(1892), A Woman of No Importance(1893), An Ideal Husband(1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest(1895). They made fun of Victorian society and are still very popular today.
After a series of scandals Wilde was arrested and sent to prison for two years. While he was in prison he wrote De Profundis and The Ballad of Reading Gaol which describe life in prison.
When he was released he went to Paris, where he died in 1900.
