story in depth: Oscarb> Wilde

Wilde was not a handsome fellow to begin with – he was 6’3" tall, flabby, with a face more oval than it ought to be – and now with black teeth, some found him physically repulsive, fancy clothes or not.
Though he was certainly aware of the details of the Mary Travers affair, young Oscarb> was proud of his father, and especially proud to be the son of a knight.
Still, Wilde lasted for three years at his post, perhaps because he was finding satisfactions that had nothing to do with his job.

Oscarb> Wilde Homepage and Biography on Bibliomania.com

Oscarb> Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde - his name almost as preposterous and over the top as some of his attitudes and sayings - was born and grew up in Dublin.
By 1890, Wilde seemed to have come to the conclusion that the 'evil' in himself could not be controlled, and so explored the theme not within the safe confines of a fairytale, but in a dark, sinister novel with a tragic ending.
However, Wilde's tales differ from the norm in that they deal with the evil within human beings rather than as an external force.

Oscarb> at right is taken from one of his final photographs, taken in Rome.

Wilde shocked his contemporaries by refusing to hide his pattern of pursuing young men--often below his social class--and "feasting with panthers"--rent boys who were readily available in spite of (or perhaps because of) the moral climate of the straight-laced Victorian Period.

Wilde, Oscarb> - Columbia Encyclopedia article about Wilde, Oscarb>

Wilde explained away their lack of depth by saying that he put his genius into his life and only his talent into his books.
Wilde's stories and essays were well received, but his creative genius found its highest expression in his plays—Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895), and his masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), which were all extremely clever and filled with pithy epigrams and paradoxes.
Foolishly, Wilde brought action for libel against the marquess and was himself charged with homosexual offenses under the Criminal Law Amendment, found guilty, and sentenced (1895) to prison for two years.

glbtq >> literature >> Wilde, Oscarb>

Although Douglas appears to have been a thoroughly undisciplined young man, utterly unworthy of Wilde's devotion, the writer became so infatuated as to lose all sense of proportion and finally to embark on the course of action that was to culminate in his sentence to two years' penal servitude at hard labor.
Wilde's antiauthoritarianism and his scorn for the philistinism of his late Victorian age are particularly important aspects of his persona and of his emergence as a symbolic figure, even as they are qualified by his almost equally strong need for social acceptance.
Wilde's need for social acceptance may have been a factor in his 1884 marriage to a young, somewhat conventional and naive socialite, Constance Lloyd, a union that quickly produced two sons.
