Auteur
-
Né à Dublin, Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) suit de brillantes études, notamment au Trinity College. Personnage de dandy à l'esprit vif et provocateur, il se forge rapidement une réputation parmi la haute société londonienne et se fait l'apôtre de l'esthétisme dans ses poèmes ou ses pièces de théâtre. Il devient célèbre avec Le Portrait de Dorian Gray, publié en 1891, et monte Salomé, à Paris. Il est condamné pour homosexualité en 1895 à deux ans de prison et aux travaux forcés. Il meurt en 1900 dans la misère à Paris d'une pneumonie.
