With his biting wit, flamboyant dress, and glittering conversation, Wilde became one of the most well-known personalities of his day.His only novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' was published in 1890 and he then moved on to writing for the stage with 'Salome' in 1891. His society comedies were enormous hits and turned him into one of the most successful writers of late Victorian London.Whilst his masterpiece, 'The Importance of Being Earnest', was on stage in London, Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry, the father of his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, prosecuted for libel.

It was to break him.On release he left for France. There he wrote his last work, 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' in 1898.
