Oscar Wilde All photos are adapted from Oscar Wilde— An illustrated anthology published by Aurum Press.

Oscar Wilde(1854~1900) I was a man who stood in symbolic relations to the art and culture of my age…The gods had given me almost everything. I had genius, a distinguished name, high social position, brilliancy, intellectual daring; I made art a philosophy, and philosophy an art: I altered the minds of men and the colour of things: there was nothing I said or did that did not make people wonder…I treated Art as the supreme reality, and life as a mere mode of fiction: I awoke the imagination of my century so that it created myth and legend around me: I summed up all systems in a phrase, and all existence in an epigram. De Profundis

I am not English, I am Irish—which is quite another thing.

Oscar at Oxford The two great things turning points of my life were when my father sent me to Oxford, and when society sent me to prison.

Wilde’s Esthetics I’m a very Sunflowery, April showery, Eastcheapy, Towery man. I’m a very aesthetic young man, A non energetic young man; Slippity, sloppity over the shoppity, Flippity flop young man. I’m a bitter and mildly Naturely childy, Oscary Wildy man. Popular song of the 1880s
