After studying at Trinity College, Dublin, Wilde went toMagdalen College, Oxford, where he achieved a double first and won theNewdigate prize for a poem "Ravenna".While at Oxford he became notorious for his flamboyant wit, talent, charmand aestheticism, and this reputation soon won him a place in Londonsociety. Bunthorne, the Fleshly Poet in Gilbert and Sullivan's operaPatience was widely thought to be a caricature of Wilde (though in fact itwas intended as a skit of Rossetti) and Wilde seems to have consciouslystyled himself on this figure.In 1882 Wilde gave a one year lecture tour of America, visiting Paris in1883 before returning to New York for the opening of his first play Vera. In1884 he married and had two sons, for whom he probably wrote his first bookof fairy tales, The Happy Prince. The next decade was his most prolific andthe time when he wrote the plays for which he is best remembered. Hiswriting and particularly his plays are epigramatic and witty and Wilde wasnot afraid to shock.This period was also haunted by accusations about his personal life, chieflyprompted by the Marquess of Queensberry's fierce opposition to the intensefriendship between Wilde and her son, Lord Alfred. These accusationsculminated in 1895 in Wilde's imprisonment for homosexual offences.While in prison, Wilde was declared bankrupt, and after his release he livedon the generosity of friends. From prison he wrote a long and bitter letterto Lord Alfred, part of which was afterwards published as De Profundis, butafter his release he wrote nothing but the poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol.This audio book application contains audio files for all chapters in one download, so you can listen to the book on the go without the need for an internet connection.Audio Book Features ==>Pause/resume functionTrack progress sliderVolume sliderEasy navigationOffline viewing and listening without internet connectionIf you like this audio book, please check out other great audio books at www.awaudiobooks.com!*** On Sale Now!
