Oscar Wilde

"Oscar Wilde" by Leonard Cresswell Ingleby is a literary exploration that investigates the duality of a celebrated author's life, distinguishing his artistic brilliance from the scandalous circumstances that defined his public image. Initially met with mockery for his extravagant style, Oscar Wilde achieved early acclaim in the aesthetic movement, yet faced harsh judgment. Later, views toward Wilde evolved, particularly after his passing, as critics and readers started to acknowledge the inherent value of his writings in spite of his personal battles and the controversies that obscured his fame.
