Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish playwright, poet, art critic and author of numerous short stories, and one novel.
He became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day.
Wilde's parents were Anglo-Irish intellectuals in Dublin. Oscar's mother, Lady Jane Francesca Wilde (1820-1896), was a successful poet and journalist.
She wrote patriotic Irish verse under the pseudonym "Speranza".
Young Wilde learned to speak fluent French and German and he demonstrated himself to be an exceptional classicist, first at Trinity College Dublin, then at Oxford.
