Wilde's life as an Irish poet and playwright is marked by his sharp wit and significant contributions to literature, particularly during the 1890s when he gained immense popularity in London. His works, including notable plays and the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, showcase his talent for epigrams. Despite his literary success, he faced a tragic downfall due to his conviction for gross indecency, leading to imprisonment and his untimely death at 46. Born to Anglo-Irish intellectuals, Wilde's education and linguistic skills laid the foundation for his literary achievements.
