In the narrow confines of a life crushed between literary celebrity and societal notoriety, Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) created some of the most acute commentary on British society and manners ever written. With lacerating wit and intelligence, Wilde carved out a body of work only slightly less famous than his tumultuous life. He was revered in aesthetic circles but reviled outside them for his effeminate nature.

At the moment of his greatest success with his comic play, The Importance of Being Earnest, he became the target of censure for his homosexuality. After a sensational trial, he was eventually sentenced to two years hard labour. It was a tragic outcome for one of the greatest writers of the Victorian era and a blow from which he never recovered.
