Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde was a brilliant Irish playwright, poet, and novelist born on October 16, 1854, in Dublin, Ireland. Known for his sharp wit and flamboyant style, Wilde became a prominent figure in the late 19th-century literary scene. He studied at Trinity College Dublin and later at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he developed his distinctive aesthetic philosophy. Wilde's most famous works, including "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and "The Importance of Being Earnest," showcase his talent for blending humor with profound social commentary, making him a beloved figure in literature.
Beyond his literary achievements, Wilde's life was marked by a vibrant personality and a penchant for challenging societal norms.
