In early 1895, Oscar Wilde dominated the literary scene. He was a key player in the Decadent literary and artistic movement and was well known on both sides of the Atlantic. His play, 'The Importance of Being Earnest', premiered to ecstatic reviews. But only a few months later, charged with the crime of gross indecency, Wilde was caught in the throes of a moral panic and experienced a spectacular downfall. He was sentenced to two years in prison, and the Decadent movement he championed was no more.
Or was it?
Did Decadence end with Wilde? How far did this late Victorian moral panic last? And what is th...

Oscar Wilde - Leading a Double Life | Biography
Born on October 16, 1854 in Dublin, author, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde was a popular literary figure in late Victorian England, known for his brilliant wit, flamboyant style and infamous imprisonment for homosexuality. After graduating from Oxford University, he lectured as a poet, art critic and a leading proponent of the principles of aestheticism. In 1891, he published The Picture of Dorian Gray, his only novel which was panned as immoral by Victorian critics, but is now considered one of his most notable works. As a dramatist, many of Wilde’s plays were well received including his satirical comedies Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), his most famous play. Unconventional in his writing a...

The Man Who Destroyed Oscar Wilde
Merlin Holland, grandson of Oscar Wilde, tells the epic story of the famous playwright’s downfall at the hands of the man who he once called an “Old friend”. In 1895 #OscarWilde fought a spectacular duel in court with his fellow Irishman Edward Carson, an up-and-coming lawyer and politician. It was one of the most scandalous trials of the Victorian era. Wilde, the prosecutor of the case, was quickly turned into the defendant by Carson’s relentless and crushing cross examination. It led to Wilde’s ruin and imprisonment for homosexuality. From a uniquely personal perspective, presenter Merlin Holland evocatively recounts the tale of his grandfather’s demise and asks the question – does Edward Carson deserve his reputation as the man who destroyed #OscarWilde?

How Oscar Wilde Ruined It For Gay Victorians Everywhere
Go to my sponsor https://aura.com/leeja to try 14 days for free and protect yourself from America's fastest growing crime. Oscar Wilde is considered one of the best literary geniuses to come out of Ireland (sorry I don't think Ireland is part of Great Britain but I honestly have no clue y'all keep fighting about it). However, he was put on trial for being gay. But it wasn't that simple. Oscar Wilde's story challenges us to grapple with whether we should separate the art from the artist. What do you think?

Born on October 16, 1854 in Dublin, author, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde was a popular literary figure in late Victorian England, known for his brilliant wit, flamboyant style and infamous imprisonment for homosexuality. After graduating from Oxford University, he lectured as a poet, art critic and a leading proponent of the principles of aestheticism. In 1891, he published The Picture of Dorian Gray, his only novel which was panned as immoral by Victorian critics, but is now considered one of his most notable works. As a dramatist, many of Wilde’s plays were well received including his satirical comedies Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), his most famous play. Unconventional in his writing and life, Wilde’s affair with a young man led to his arrest on charges of "gross indecency" in 1895. He was imprisoned for two years and died in poverty three years after his release at the age of 46. #Biography

Merlin Holland, grandson of Oscar Wilde, tells the epic story of the famous playwright’s downfall at the hands of the man who he once called an “Old friend”. In 1895 #OscarWilde fought a spectacular duel in court with his fellow Irishman Edward Carson, an up-and-coming lawyer and politician. It was one of the most scandalous trials of the Victorian era. Wilde, the prosecutor of the case, was quickly turned into the defendant by Carson’s relentless and crushing cross examination. It led to Wilde’s ruin and imprisonment for homosexuality. From a uniquely personal perspective, presenter Merlin Holland evocatively recounts the tale of his grandfather’s demise and asks the question – does Edward Carson deserve his reputation as the man who destroyed #OscarWilde?

Go to my sponsor https://aura.com/leeja to try 14 days for free and protect yourself from America's fastest growing crime. Oscar Wilde is considered one of the best literary geniuses to come out of Ireland (sorry I don't think Ireland is part of Great Britain but I honestly have no clue y'all keep fighting about it). However, he was put on trial for being gay. But it wasn't that simple. Oscar Wilde's story challenges us to grapple with whether we should separate the art from the artist. What do you think?

Join us on a journey through the life and works of one of the most colorful figures in literary history: Oscar Wilde. Known for his wit, flamboyant style, and scandalous personal life, Wilde was a prolific writer who produced some of the most memorable plays, essays, and poems of the 19th century.
In this video, we'll explore Wilde's early years in Dublin, his time at Oxford University, and his rise to fame as a playwright in London's theater scene. We'll also delve into some of his most famous works, including "The Importance of Being Earnest," "The Picture of Dorian Gray," and "De Profundis."
But it wasn't all glitz and glamour for Wilde. His personal life was filled with controversy, including a trial and imprisonment for homosexuality, which eventually led to his tragic downfall.

The Trials of Oscar Wilde also known as The Man with the Green Carnation and The Green Carnation, is a 1960 British film based on the libel and subsequent criminal cases involving Oscar Wilde and the Marquess of Queensberry. It was written by Allen and Ken Hughes, directed by Hughes, and co-produced by Irving Allen, Albert R. Broccoli and Harold Huth. The screenplay was by Ken Hughes and Montgomery Hyde, based on the play The Stringed Lute by John Furnell. The film was made by Warwick Films and released by United Artists.
#oscarwilde #peterfinch #thepicturesofoscarwilde
It stars Peter Finch as Wilde, Lionel Jeffries as Queensberry, and John Fraser as Bosie (Lord Alfred Douglas) with James Mason, Nigel Patrick, Yvonne Mitchell, Maxine Audley, Paul Rogers and James Booth.
The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best English-Language Foreign Film. Peter Finch won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role and the film also received four other BAFTA nominations including Best British Film, Best Film from any source and for John Fraser as Best British Actor. Peter Finch (tied with Bambang Hermanto) also received the Best Actor Award at the 2nd Moscow International Film Festival
In his review of the film, Bosley Crowther wrote: "Mr. Wilde himself could not have expected his rare personality or his unfortunate encounters with British justice on a morals charge to have been more sympathetically or affectingly dramatized. In comparison to that other British picture about the same subject that opened [in New York City] last week, this one is more impressive in every respect, save one."[4] Crowther concludes the review saying "The only thing is you wonder if this is a fairly true account, if Mr. Wilde was as noble and heroic as he is made to appear. And if he was, what was he doing with those cheap and shady young men? It looks to us as if they are trying to whitewash a most unpleasant case, which is one of the more notorious and less ennobling in literary history."[4]
Variety magazine, commenting on the performances, said "Peter Finch gives a moving and subtle performance as the ill-starred playwright. Before his downfall he gives the man the charm that he undoubtedly had....John Fraser as handsome young Lord Alfred Douglas is suitably vain, selfish, vindictive and petulant and the relationship between the two is more understandable. Where Trials suffers in comparison with the B&W film is in the remarkable impact of the libel case court sequence. James Mason never provides the strength and bitter logic necessary for the dramatic cut-and-thrust when Wilde is in the witness box
