Oscar Wilde Quotes My name has two Os, two Fs and two Ws. A name that is destined to be in everybody’s mouth must not be too long. It comes so expensive in advertisements. When one is unknown, a number of Christian names are useful, perhaps even needful. As one becomes famous, one sheds some of them, just as a balloonist, ...rising higher, sheds unnecessary ballast... All but two of my five names have been thrown overboard. Soon I shall discard another and be known simply as ‘The Wilde’ or ‘The Oscar’. Education is an admirable thing. But it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. We teach people how to remember, we never teach them how to grow. I am not young enough to know everything. It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information. I have made an important discovery... that alcohol, taken in sufficient quantities, produces all the effect of intoxication. Work is the curse of the drinking classes of this country. America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.

previous summary timeline next fact file Biography: Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Although the playwright Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is most often remembered today as a homosexual martyr, before his conviction on charges of Gross Indecency he was already famous as the outrageously effete evangelist of an artistic movement called aestheticism . Wilde practiced the aesthetic credo, "Art for Art's sake," in his own life and appointed himself an arbiter of sophistication and good taste. His celebrity made him Britain's most notorious sodomite when he was convicted of consorting with A young Oscar Wilde male prostitutes in 1895 and popularized an image of homosexuals as urbane sophisticates. A persistent stereotype of homosexuals as talented dressers of women and windows is derived in part from the example of Oscar Wilde. Wilde's trials and the sensational publicity that surrounded them made him a symbol for homosexuals worldwide and inspired activists like Magnus Hirschfeld to work hard in the cause of homosexual emancipation.

Oscar Wilde established himself in social life and artistic circles by his wit and flamboyance. Wilde's first book was "Poems" (1881). His first play "Vera, or the Nihilists" (1882) was produced in New York.

Glossary entry for Wilde, Oscar The following is extracted from the "Wild Wilde Web": Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854-1900) was born on 16 October 1854 in Dublin. He would later assert that a name which is destined to be in everyone's mouth must not be too long. All the world would come to know him simply as Oscar Wilde. Oscar Wilde was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and later at Oxfordwhere he discovered the dangerous and delightful distinction of being different from others. In 1881 his collected poems were published. In 1882, short of money, Mr. Wilde accepted an invitation to embark on a lecture tour of America. The tour was an unmitigated smash and Mr. Wilde returned to London in triumph and richer by several thousand pounds. Mr. Wilde married Constance Lloyd, the daughter of an Irish barrister in 1884. They had two sons, Cyril and Vyvyan. In 1891 a guest of the Wilde's brought a young man to tea. Alfred DouglasBosiewas the foppish, poet son of the Marquess of Queensberry. They were immediately attracted to each other. Bosie was taken with the brilliance of Mr. Wilde's conversation and wit, and Mr. Wilde was entranced by young Queensberry's good looks and title. Outraged by his son's association with Mr. Wilde, the Marquess of Queensberry left a visiting card at Wilde's stylish London club, the Albemarle, upon which he had written, To Oscar Wilde posing as a somdomitehis spelling. Encouraged by Bosie whose hatred for his own father obscured his affection for his friend, Mr. Wilde pressed suit for criminal libel. The case was lost and Wilde charged with homosexual offences. The jury failed to reach a decision at the first trial, but at a second trial Mr. Wilde was found guilty and sentenced to two years in Reading Gaol (pronounced redd-ing jail). He was forced to labor in prison and his meals consisted mainly of gruel, suet, water and greasy cocoa. While in prison Mr. Wilde was declared bankrupt; his house and possessions were sold to pay his debts.

At the age of ten, Wilde entered the well-known Portora Royal School, where he excelled in Greek studies. His interest in Greek continued at Trinity College, Dublin, where John Mahaffy, an eminent Greek scholar who later took Wilde on a tour of Italy, was his tutor. Wilde was awarded a scholarship in classics from Magdalene College, Oxford, which he entered in 1874. During his fourth year at Oxford, Wilde won the prestigious Newdigate Prize for imitative poetry with a verse praising Ravenna, a city he had visited with Mahaffy and the burial site of Dante. In addition to his studies, Wilde began to develop his role as poseur and aesthete. Wilde received his BA in 1878 and, after an additional year at Oxford, went to London where he began writing. In 1880 Wilde published Vera; or, The Nihilists, and in 1881 he was hired by Richard D'Oyly Carte to boost Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera Patience in America by means of a lecture tour. Dressed in black velvet and a full length fur coat, he spoke on the new aestheticism from New York to San Francisco. He met with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louisa May Alcott, Walt Whitman, and Jefferson Davies, among others.

75. The Long Conversion Of Oscar Wilde Oscar Wilde (18541900). I am not a Catholic, said Oscar Wilde. I am simplya violent Papist. This statement, like so many of Wilde s outrageous http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/arts/al0010.html

Home Email This Article Print The Long Conversion of Oscar Wilde ANDDREW MCCRACKEN Oscar Wilde is widely celebrated as an artist persecuted for his homosexuality, a sort of protomartyr for the cause of gay rights, and the center of a circle of unconventional poets and artists known as decadents and aesthetes. The current celebration of Wilde as gay martyr is certainly one obvious interpretation of his life, but it oversimplifies his complexity; indeed, it ignores the major movement of his life, a life that may also be seen as a long and difficult conversion to the Roman Catholic Church. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) "I am not a Catholic," said Oscar Wilde. "I am simply a violent Papist." This statement, like so many of Wilde's outrageous paradoxes, conceals a sober truth beneath its blithe wit. Another example would be his jest that, of all religions, Catholicism is the only one worth dying in. Looking back over his life more than a hundred years later, we can be forgiven for seeing the irony in such statements, for Wilde's fascination with Catholicism, its mysteries and rituals, did set the stage for his death-bed conversion. And we can certainly perceive justice in the fact that the man who cracked such jokes also believed that life imitated art: ultimately, then, the joke was on him. Wilde's name is much in the air these days. There are stage plays about his life, a recent feature film starring Stephen Fry and Jude Law, and articles in the national press. The centenary of his premature death in 1900 at age 46 was widely celebrated in the literary and gay communities with moving testimonies to Oscar Wilde, the persecuted genius and gay man, victim of a repressive and judgmental social order.

Phrases And Philosophies For The Use Of The Young by Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Bibliographic Notes: First published in the 1894 December (and only) issue of the Oxford student magazine The Chameleon The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible. What the second duty is no one has as yet discovered. Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others. If the poor only had profiles there would be no difficulty in solving the problem of poverty. Those who see any difference between soul and body have neither. A really well-maded buttonhole is the only link between Art and Nature. Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions. The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves. Nothing that actually occurs is of the smallest importance. Dullness is the coming of age of seriousness. In all unimportant matters, style, not sincerity, is the essential. In all important matters, style, not sincerity, is the essential. If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out.
