ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author talks about the religious implications of literary and philosophical texts of Oscar (Fingal O'Flahertie Wills) Wilde who was born at Dublin in 1854. Too often, he is chiefly remembered for the four plays, Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband, and, above all, The Importance of Being Earnest. One also recalls that he brought an ill-advised suit for libel against the Marquis of Queensbury, that in the course of the trial it appeared that he was guilty of sodomy, that in 1895 he was sentenced to two years in prison, that he went to France after his release in 1897, a broken man, unable to equal his earlier successes, and that he died in Paris in 1900. His publications, also include Poems, The Canterville Ghost, The Happy Prince and Other Tales, A House of Pomegranates, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Salome, The Ballad of Reading Gaol, De Profundis and so on.
