"Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet and author of numerous short stories and one novel. Known for his biting wit, he became one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. 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 the offence 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 Britain."

he wrote several plays including 'the importance of being earnest' (which is really funny), 'lady windmere's fan', and I think maybe there was one called 'a good woman' or something. he also wrote this really spooky novella called 'the picture of dorian grey' about this guy who when he sees this portrait of himself and thinks its a shame he's going to grow old and the picture will stay the same, he wishes that HE would stay the same, and the picture would grow old, and it happens! I read it in bed one night. biggest mistake I ever made...
Oscar Wilde also wrote a heap of poetry and little 2-paragraph stories and stuff.
