He was born on October 16, 1854, in Dublin, Ireland (when he was still part of the United Kingdom). His father, William, was a successful doctor and his mother, Jane, a woman very interested in the arts. Wilde had a brother, and a sister who died as a child. He was educated at prestigious universities in Dublin and Oxford, specializing in the Greek classics.

In 1881, the publication of his Poems offered him notoriety, which increased thanks to his charisma, his striking dress and his talks on aestheticism. In fact, he was hired to give lectures on this topic in various cities of the United States during much of 1882, with extensive media coverage.

In 1884 he married Constance Lloyd, with whom he has two children. The family settled in London, and Wilde wrote several works over the next eleven years, increasing his literary success.

For a couple of years he also directs a women's magazine.

In 1895, at the peak of his literary career, a fact that would mark his misfortune ensues. What began as a defamation suit attempted by Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry, after he branded him a homosexual (Wilde in fact had a relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas, son of the Marquis), ended up becoming a criminal action in against Wilde himself, since at that time sodomy was a crime.

Wilde's relationships with other men, not only friends of his environment but also young men engaged in male prostitution, came to light after Queensberry paid private detectives who scrutinized the writer's private life. As a result of the trial, Oscar Wilde is sentenced to two years of forced labor, which he complies in its entirety.

Needless to say, the trial was quite a scandal for the conservative society of the time and also marked the definitive break with his family. Constance (dying in 1899) refuses to see him again (although they never divorced) and her two sons decide to change the Wilde name to Holland.

In 1897 he leaves prison, physically and emotionally shattered, and in very precarious economic conditions. He adopts the name of Sebastian Melmoth and marches to Paris, where he dies on November 30, 1900, victim of a meningitis. His remains are buried in the Parisian cemetery of Pére Lachaise]]> 2017-10-30 23:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lautysoft/80wc7hn8jrvl/wish/201960882
