Oscar Wilde, born in 1854, was an Irish author and poet known for his wit, flamboyance, and literary contributions. His novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray," published in 1890, remains a seminal work of literature exploring themes of vanity, morality, and the pursuit of beauty. Wilde's writing style often blended aestheticism with social commentary, earning him widespread acclaim and criticism alike. Despite his literary success, Wilde faced personal and professional challenges, including a scandalous trial and imprisonment for "gross indecency" due to his homosexuality. He died in 1900 at the age of 46, leaving behind a legacy of enduring literary works and a complex cultural impact.
