Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde remains one of the sharpest minds and most luminous personalities in literary history—a writer whose wit cut through Victorian respectability and whose life challenged it outright. Known for plays like The Importance of Being Earnest and a body of essays and epigrams that still feel modern, Wilde turned elegance, irony, and defiance into an art form.
Persecuted for his sexuality and imprisoned in the 1890s, Wilde’s legacy carries both brilliance and tragedy. Yet his words endured—celebrating beauty, pleasure, self-invention, and the courage to live truthfully in a society determined to punish difference. For generations of queer readers, he became a patron saint of style, intelligence, and survival through language.
