·life


Oscar Fingal O'FlahertieWills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was an Irish author,playwright and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, hebecame one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he isremembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays,as well as the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death.


Journalism and editorship: 1886–89


Criticism over artisticmatters in the Pall Mall Gazette provoked a letter in self-defense, and soonWilde was a contributor to that and other journals during the years 1885–87. Heenjoyed reviewing and journalism; the form suited his style. He could organizeand share his views on art, literature and life, yet in a format less tediousthan lecturing. Buoyed up, his reviews were largely chatty and positive.


Imprisonment


Wilde was imprisoned firstin Penton Ville Prison and then Wands worth Prison in London. Inmates followeda regimen of "hard labor, hard fare and a hard bed", which wore veryharshly on Wilde, accustomed as he was too many creature comforts. His healthdeclined sharply, and in November he collapsed during chapel from illness andhunger. His right ear drum was ruptured in the fall, an injury that latercontributed to his death. He spent two months in the infirmary.
