IRLAND LITERATUR OSCAR WILDE

A portrait of the great wit, aesthete and writer Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), which he sent to his lover Philip M. Griffiths. The author sent Griffiths a series of letters in the mid-1880's, revealing a close relationship which preceded his famous and disastrous affair with Lord Alfred Douglas. Wilde died in poverty in France after serving four years at Reading Goal (1893-1897) for 'indecent acts'; his prosecutor was the Marquess of Queensberry, father of Lord Alfred Douglas. Humiliated and disgraced for his homosexual activities, Wilde left prison a broken man. Today he and his works, including "The Importance of Being Earnest", "Pygmalion" and "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" are celebrated around the world. (KEYSTONE/CAMERA PRESS/Str) === , ===
