Yesterday it was Oscar Wilde's 162nd birthday. From ELS, we want to take advantage of his birthday to show all of you who he was and some of his most representative work. He was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist and poet, whose most remembered plays are The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest:
Oscar Wilde was taken from the world too young. He was a man with infinite literary potential and his works were among the first satires on the life and times of the people of late Victorian England. The humour, simplicity and emotion in his writings were so raw that his works have passed down several generations and now hold a permanent place in our libraries. On his 162nd birthday, we want to remember him, not as a man who suffered at the hands of an intolerable society, but as one who gave us some of the best literature of the times. Happy birthday, sir!
