La Repubblica Pope Benedict XVI is a stern opponent of gay marriage and has reinforced Catholic teaching that homosexuality is a disorder. On the other hand he has belied his reputation as a hardliner since his election, reserving most of his fire for apathy and relativism in an attempt to revive Christian faith in Europe. Father Spadaro said that at the end of his life Wilde had seen into the depths of his own soul and in his last works, such as

Just one of Oscar Wilde's endlessly entertaining and often hard-hitting quotations. He is a man who inspired - and continues to inspire - both admiration and argument. The roller-coaster story of his life is testimony to his eccentric genius. He was born Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde in Dublin, 1854, and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. His genius for writing was instantly recognised and in 1878 he was awarded the Newdigate Prize for his poem 'Ravenna', an initial confirmation of his prodigious talent. A first volume of poetry Patience was published in 1881, three years after he had received his degree. This was followed by The Duchess of Padua , a play published in 1883. His literary career was diverse: as well as composing verse, he lectured in America; contributed to publications like the Pall Mall Gazette ; wrote fairy stories (collected in The Happy Prince and Other Tales ); wrote the novel

65. Cornell University College Of Arts & Sciences News Letter A comparison of legend and fact. Essay by professor Sandra F. Siegel at Cornell University. http://www.arts.cornell.edu/newsletr/spring96/siegel.htm

Newsletter Spring 1996 Vol. 17 No. 2 Oscar Wilde: The Spectacle of Criticism Sandra F. Siegel Wilde's power to arouse fantasies in others - and to fulfill them - is seemingly inexhaustible. Everyone has an opinion about Oscar Wilde. It is also true that opinions about no other author have been so ill-informed. From the beginning, there appeared to be about Wilde something slightly slant. Earlier in the century the fantasies perhaps might have been dispelled. Now, as the century draws to a close, the same fantasies continue to circulate. Despite the mixed response to Wilde's poems, in 1881 he was invited by the Librarian of the Oxford Union, Oxford's undergraduate debating society, to present a copy of the volume as a gift, which he inscribed: "To the Oxford Union, My first volume of poems." There can be no doubt that Wilde's career - as a social critic and as a dramatist - pivoted downward after the scandalous trials that convicted him in 1895 of "gross indecency" and sent hi m to prison for two years. What is nearly always forgotten is that although he was not yet a public figure in 1881, the scandal that arose from the Union's rejection of his Poems and the accusation of plagiarism ensured that he was on his way to becoming one. Never before had a book been presented that had not been accepted: in this case the Oxford Union established the more indecorous precedent of rejecting a gift that an author had been invited to present. The Union sent a letter of apology to Wilde to which he replied that he regretted its decision, his "chief regret indeed being that there should still be at Oxford such a large number of young men who are ready to accept their own ignorance as an index, and their own conceit a criterion of any imaginative and beautiful work" and he expressed the hope that "no other poet or writer of English will ever be subjected to what I feel sure you as well as myself are conscious of, the coarse impertinence of having a work officially rejected which has been no less officially sought for."

Centre for Irish Writing 21Westland Row Oscar Wilde Oscar Wilde William Wilde Dr. William Wilde, Oscar's father, was one of the leading ENT specialists of his time. He is in fact acknowledged internationally as one of the founders of the speciality and he wrote the first clinical textbook on the subject. He was a pioneer medical statistician and he was knighted for this work. He also had an international reputation as an antiquarian and archaeologist and he was recognised as an expert on Irish pre-history. He was one of the leading figures in the Celtic Revival. William Wilde was also a biographer and medical historian and he wrote a book on Jonathan Swift. He wrote a fascinating book on a journey to the Middle East in l837 during which he climbed to the top of the Great Pyramid at great personal risk. Speranza Jane Wilde, Oscar's mother, who wrote under the pseudonym Speranza, was also a remarkable person. She was brought up as a Unionist but she became closely associated with the Young Irelanders, Thomas Davis, William Smith O'Brien and Charles Gavan Duffy and she wrote revolutionary poetry for 'The Nation' newspaper. She subsequently became a leading society hostess in Dublin. She was an early champion of women's rights. She was fluent in a number of languages and she translated several poems and books. The Wildes' house at 21 Westland Row attracted some of the leading figures in art, literature, science and medicine - including John Hogan, Samuel Ferguson and William Rowan Hamilton.

Support Us Oscar Wilde famous and familiar quotations from the paragon of wit   There is only one thing in the world that is worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.   Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself.   I have nothing to declare except my genius.   I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.   I can resist everything except temptation.   The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.   It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal.   Give me the luxuries and I can dispense with the necessities.   Death is the only thing that ever terrifies me. I hate it. One can survive everything nowadays except that.   One must have a heart of stone to read the death of little Nell without laughing.   No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.
