7 FOCUS ON... The Life of Oscar Wilde Oscar Wilde, June Early Life Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin on 16 th October His father was Sir William Wilde, a famous doctor: his patients included Queen Victoria. His mother was Jane Francesca Elgee, a poet and supporter of Irish independence. Wilde had an older brother and a younger sister who died young. He studied at home until he was nine, and then at private school. In 1874 he went to Magdalen College, Oxford and studied Greek classics. First Publications During his studies, Wilde published some poetry. He also wrote articles for magazines and travelled in Europe and America. He became famous for his eccentric lifestyle. In 1878 he graduated from Oxford and went to live in London. He wrote for many magazines and became more famous for his extravagant behaviour and love of aesthetics. Some people started to say that he was immoral. Marriage In 1884 Wilde married Constance Lloyd. He thought she was very intelligent. They lived in London and were happy for a short time. Their son Cyril was born in 1885, and their younger son Vyvyan in Wilde was affectionate to his children, but ignored his wife. He preferred the company of men. At the time, it was illegal for men to have homosexual relationships. 118

8 First Prose Works In 1888 Wilde published The Happy Prince and other tales, which he wrote for his two children. His only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in At the same time he fell in love with Lord Alfred Douglas. From 1893 he considered his marriage finished. Wilde s first play, Lady Windermere's Fan, opened in February Playwriting was his greatest talent and in a few years he wrote A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). Trial and Prison Wilde was famous for his love affairs with men, which were against the law. In 1895 he was arrested and put on trial. The verdict was guilty. He was sentenced to two years of hard labour. He spent most of the time in Reading, and later wrote The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Prison was bad for his health. When he left prison in 1897 he went to Europe, and never returned to Britain. Oscar Wilde, Final Years In very bad health, Wilde spent most of his final years in Paris. He was very poor. Constance refused to meet him, but sent him money. She died in 1898 after an operation. He converted to Roman Catholicism a few days before he died, on 30 th November Only a few of his friends stayed with him until the end.
