Oscar Wilde, the son of an eminent Dublin surgeon, stands out among the fraternity of Victorian dramatists, which includes fellow-Irishman Dion Boucicault (1820-1890), James Robinson Planch&eachute; (1796-1880), Tom Robertson (1829-1871), Tom Taylor (1817-1880), W. Gilbert (1836-1911), and Arthur Wing Pinero (1859-1934).
After Trinity College, Dublin, Wilde attended Magdalen College, Oxford, where as a disciple of Walter Pater he founded the Aesthetic Movement, which advocated "art for art's sake." His aesthetic idiosyncrasies such as his wearing his hair long, dressing colourfully, and carrying flowers while lecturing Gilbert and Sullivan parodied in the operetta Patience (1881).
Of his time as a prisoner he wrote in The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898).
