Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish playwright, poet, and author of numerous short stories, and one novel.

Several of his plays continue to be widely performed, especially The Importance of Being Earnest.
As the result of a widely covered series of trials, Wilde suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years hard labour after being convicted of "gross indecency" with other men. After Wilde was released from prison he set sail for Dieppe by the night ferry. He never returned to Ireland or Britain, and died in poverty.

精彩的劇！我配合著舞台劇一齊看，很多劇本中難以瞧見的精妙舞台劇可以很好地填補。王爾德的劇寫得妙，余光中也譯得妙。第一遍讀，我邊只看其故事起伏了，其他種種恐怕得留待以後重讀。 Ps.昨天文學課老師講到讀書帶給人純粹的快感，這本確實如此
