BIOGRAPHY

Oscar O’Flahertie Fingal Wills Wilde was born on October 16, 1854. He was born into a Protestant Anglo-Irish family, at 21 Westland Row, Dublin, Ireland. His father was Sir William Wilde, an accomplished physician who specialized in diseases of the eyes and ears and wrote books on archeology and folklore. In 1944, he founded St. Mark’s Ophthalmic Hospital. Before his marriage Sir William fathered three illegitimate children, all for whom he cared financially: Henry Wilson in 1838, Emily in 1847, and Mary 1849. The girls were raised by William’s brother and died in a fire when they were in their early twenties. Oscar was the second child of his parents (brother William Charles Kingsbury was born in 1852). His mother also gave birth to a daughter, Isola Emily Francesca, in 1857. Tragically, she died of fever at age of ten. His mother, Lady Jane Francesca Elgee Wilde, was a journalist and a poet. She published revolutionary poetry under the pseudonym “Speranza” and gained attention as a poetess in 1846 when her work appeared in the Irish newspaper The Nation.
Oscar was educated at home up to the age of nine. He attended Portora Royal School in Enniskillen, Fermanagh from 1864 to 1871, spending the summer months with his family in rural Waterford, Wexford and at his father’s family home in Mayo. After he left Portora, he studied classics at Trinity College, Dublin, from 1871 to 1874. He was an outstanding student and won the Berkley Medal, the highest award available to classics students at trinity. Then he went to Oxford University on an academic scholarship. There he was greatly inspired by John Ruskin and Walter Pater, who influenced him with aesthetic theories. At Oxford, Oscar won the Newdigate Prize for his poem “Ravenna” and “First In Great” in 1878. He graduated with a double first, the highest grade available at Oxford...
