| | Wilde was the son of the late Sir William Wilde, an eminent Irish surgeon. | | | Wilde and his love for Greek imagery and philosophy, continues to play out like a greek tragedy. | | | Even before he left the University in 1878 Wilde had become known as one of the most affected of the professors of the aesthetic craze, and for several years it was as the typical aesthete that he kept himself before the notice of the public. |

| | His father, John Butler Yeats, was the son of a once-affluent family whom Oscar Wilde's father, Sir William Wilde, described as "the cleverest, most spirited people I ever met." Yeats' parents had an important influence on the young artist's life. | | | Yeats' mother Susan Pollexfen Yeats, the daughter of a successful merchant from Sligo in western Ireland, was descended from a line of intense, eccentric people interested in faeries and astrology. | | | To Yeats, Gonne represented an ideal, and throughout his life he found the tension between them, as well as their friendship, a source of poetic inspiration. |

| | Oscar Wilde |
| | His parents were Sir William Wilde, a successful aural surgeon and writer; and Jane Francesco Elgee, who translated and wrote poetry and called herself "the voice in poetry of all the people in Ireland." Oscar had two siblings--an older brother named Willie, and a sister, Isola, born when Oscar was two. | | | One Wilde biographer, Richard Ellman, wrote, "he was conducting, in the most civilized way, an anatomy of his society, and a radical reconsideration of its ethics." But art and life were for Wilde intertwined, and he did not fit the proper Victorian mold. | | | Oscar Wilde rose to become the toast of London--appreciated not only for his plays, Lady Windemere's Fan, The Ideal Husband, and The Importance of Being Earnest, and his novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, but for his grace, wit, and charm. |

| | Sir William Wilde, he said, was not the man to shrink from any investigation: but he was only in the case formally and he could not meet the allegations, which therefore were "one-sided and unfair" and so forth and so on. | | | The summons and plaint charged that this letter written to the father of the plaintiff by Lady Wilde was a libel reflecting on the character and chastity of Miss Travers, and as Lady Wilde was a married woman, her husband Sir William Wilde was joined in the action as a co-defendant for conformity. | | | Dr. Wilde would accept no fees from her, stating at the outset that as she was the daughter of a brother-physician, he thought it an honour to be of use to her. |
