Biografia: Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde, ou simplesmente Oscar Wilde, foi um influente escritor, poeta e dramaturgo irlandês. Conhecido por sua sagacidade mordaz, pelas vestimentas extravagantes de dândi, pela habilidade de conversação e de ditos espirituosos e ricos em sarcasmo, ironia e cinismo, Wilde tornou-se uma das personalidades mais famosas de sua época e um dos dramaturgos mais populares de Londres, em 1890, após escrever de diversas formas na década de 1880.
