Oscar Wilde's life and writings today evoke many reactions. His genius eclipsed the many genres at which he tried his hand. His famous plays like The Importance of Being Earnest along with his prose works such as The Canterville Ghost and The Picture of Dorian Gray or his poetry like "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" are still performed, studied, and enjoyed.

BASIC READING EXPECTATIONS 1. Know & recognize the story titles & key characters by name. 2. Be able to summarize the plots of the fairy tales. 3. Be ready to discuss the impli- cations of Wilde’s satire of the Victorian Age in these tales. 4. Christian analysis: what Biblical truths or values did you find expressed in this piece?.
