Oscar Wilde

He was a Grecian lad, who coming home With pulpy figs and wine from Sicily Stood at his galley's prow, and let the foam Blow through his crisp brown curls unconsciously, And holding wave and wind in boy's despite Peered from his dripping seat across the wet and stormy night.

Wilde's dramatic masterpiece set in London. Many of the themes of An Ideal Husband were influenced by the situation Oscar Wilde found himself in during the early 1890s. "Sooner or later we shall all have to pay for what we do. But no one should be entirely judged by their past."

De Profundis (Latin: "from the depths") is an epistle written by Oscar Wilde during his imprisonment in Reading Gaol, to Lord Alfred Douglas.

Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) is remembered best for his sharp wit, his comedic plays and for his contribution to aestheticism and decadence. In this collection of essays, however, Wilde writes predominantly on socialism, anarchy and libertarianism. He believed in these passionately and was influenced among others by William Morris and John Ruskin.

Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is one of his most popular works. Written in Wilde's characteristically dazzling manner, full of stinging epigrams and shrewd observations, the tale of Dorian Gray's moral disintegration caused something of a scandal when it first appeared in 1890. Wilde was attacked for his decadence and corrupting influence, and a few years later the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde's homosexual liaisons, trials that resulted in his imprisonment. Of the book's value as autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, "Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be--in other ages, perhaps."

Oscar Wilde lived during the Victorian era, a time in which women had very few rights compared to men. In the play 'A Woman of No Importance, ' the characters wrestle with some of the double standards of the 1800s. In the play A Woman of No Importance, Oscar Wilde explores the double standards that existed between men and women in the Victorian Era. Men were forgiven for their indiscretions far more readily than women, and women were more condemned for moral failings. Women had few rights, as well. Through our exploration of the characters in this play, we will also unfold the plot. The plot is very simple, but it is the psychological interactions between the characters that reveal a darker side to the Victorian Era. The theme of this story really is that a double standard existed for women and men during this time period. Women were not treated equally.

"Portret Doriana Greja" (1890) - naibolee izvestnoe i, bezuslovno, samoe jarkoe i uspeshnoe proizvedenie anglijskogo prozaika, poeta i dramaturga Oskara Uajlda. Etot roman ne prosto sdelal pisatelja znamenitym - on v kakoj-to mere predvoskhitil ego sobstvennuju sudbu. Kak zhazhda naslazhdenij i tjaga k poroku prevraschajut talantlivogo junoshu Doriana Greja v amoralnoe chudovische, tak i "vozdajanie za grekhi" nastigaet samogo Oskara Uajlda: tjuremnoe zakljuchenie, bolezn i muchitelnaja smert. No, kak i polozheno istinno talantlivomu avtoru, Uajld ljubil i zaschischal svoego protivorechivogo geroja ot obschestvennogo litsemerija. "Kazhdyj chelovek vidit v Doriane Gree svoi sobstvennye grekhi. V chjom sostojat grekhi Doriana Greja, ne znaet nikto. Tot, kto nakhodit ikh, privnes ikh sam", - pishet on odnomu iz kritikov.

The Soul of Man under Socialism By Oscar Wilde

Obra de excelente trama comica que fluye entre los sutiles dialogos de sus escenas y el relato de los hechos lleno de agudeza y frescura. Estos son los grandes valores que han hecho de esta composicion una de las mas representadas y aplaudidas del mundo. El enredo es una constante del argumento que creo Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) y que se origina desde el mismo titulo con la dualidad entre la palabra earnest, que significa serio en ingles, y el mismo nombre de Ernesto. La obra se estreno en 1895 con un triunfo arrollador desde el principio. Se dijo de ella que Inglaterra nunca habia reido tanto con una comedia. Fue, ademas, uno de los exitos mas importantes de este autor que, educado en el ambiente culto y literario de sus progenitores, consiguio abrirse muchas puertas en su entorno, tanto por su caracter equivoco como por su simpatia.
