Despite being subjected to continuous torment and persecution in a predominantly homophobic society, Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) defied the odds. His life, a tumultuous mix of profound triumphs and formidable adversities, moulded him into an acclaimed playwright, author, and poet. Armed with his unique experiences, Wilde wove remarkably resplendent, albeit provocative, literary masterpieces like "The Importance of Being Earnest." Presently, he is celebrated as a dominant literary figure of the Victorian epoch, carrying an influence that extends far beyond his times.
