Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays, as well as the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death.
Wilde's parents were successful Anglo-Irish Dublin intellectuals. Their son became fluent in French and German early in life. At university, Wilde read Greats; he proved himself to be an outstanding classicist, first at Dublin, then at Oxford. He became known for his involvement in the rising philosophy of aestheticism, led by two of his tutors, Walter Pater and John Ruskin. After university, Wilde moved to London into fashionable cultural and social circles. As a spokesman for aestheticism, he tried his hand at various literary activities: he published a book of poems, lectured in the United States and Canada on the new "English Renaissance in Art", and then returned to London where he worked prolifically as a journalist. Known for his biting wit, flamboyant dress and glittering conversation, Wilde became one of the best-known personalities of his day.

Plot: The story of Oscar Wilde, genius, poet, playwright and the First Modern Man. The self-realization of his homosexuality caused Wilde enormous torment as he juggled marriage, fatherhood and responsibility with his obsessive love for Lord Alfred Douglas, nicknamed Bosie. After legal action instigated by Bosie's father, the enraged Marquise of Queensberry, Wilde refused to flee the country and was sentenced to two years at hard labor by the courts of an intolerant Victorian society.

Plot: Late on Guy Fawkes Day, 1892, Oscar Wilde arrives at a high-class brothel where a surprise awaits: a staging of his play "Salome," with parts played by prostitutes, Wilde's host, his lover Bosey, and Lady Alice. The movie moves between the play and Wilde's night. In the play, Herod begs his pubescent step-daughter Salome to dance for him, promising her anything she desires. Her mother, Herodias, objects. Salome is stung by John the Baptist's rejection of her affections. The prophet's scolding celibacy puts him between the expressed desire of age and youth. Wilde dallies with a young man as he watches the show, provoking Bosey's jealousy. Two surprises await us.

And so it begins... This is pretty old, made in June 2011 for a college history project, and took me and 2 others, at total of 2 days to write, perform and make the video (granted we did use nicepeter's music and some of his lyrics as a guide). The hard work however, paid off as everyone loved it. This version has some edited effects and re-recorded audio on the intro and outro due to some bad distortion in the original. The initial concept is entirely credited to Nice peters, check out the originals here - http://www.youtube.com/user/nicepeter Any suggestions for more raps are welcome, as well as criticisms/advice, if more were to happen, they would be more recognisable characters, these 2 were chosen due to their historical relation and that we were given the topic of researc...

The FHI, HASTAC, PhD Lab in Digital Knowledge, and Program in the Study of Sexualities at Duke are pleased to sponsor a Presentation and a Workshop by Modernism and Queer Theory Scholar Petra Dierkes-Thrun of Stanford University. Oscar Wilde has meant different things to different people since the late 19th century, but probably nowhere has his legacy been felt more strongly than in the queer and feminist community and associated scholarship since the 1980s. Today, Wilde is considered a prime ancestral node within the genealogy of queer aesthetics and eroticism of Western culture, due in large part to the many 20th-century writers, musicians, filmmakers, artists, and cultural theorists (queer and straight) who have creatively reimagined and critically examined his life and works. But ...

(25 Rare Recordings From Some Of The Most Important People At The Turn The 20th Century) I hope you won't mind my hawking my wares here a bit, but it really is a good deal for everybody.

In the 1890s, famed writer Oscar Wilde (Robert Morley) embarks on a relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas (John Neville), despite his marriage to Constance (Phyllis Calvert). This relationship and its consequences are the focus of this dramatization of Wilde's life. Wilde sues Alfred's father, the Marquis of Queensberry (Edward Chapman), for libel - a lawsuit that turns against him when a prosecuting lawyer forces him to admit to his homosexuality, leading to a second lawsuit. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053149/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2

Check out my Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/bob_toomey. This 1923 silent "Salome" is probably the best filmed version of the scandalous Oscar Wilde one-act play. It's basically a photographed avant-garde theatre production performed on a single set based on Aubrey Beardsley's illustrations for the published play. You can see those illustrations at: http://www.wormfood.com/savoy/salome/. The copy of "Salome" that's been available on the Internet has English intertitles partially obscured by oversized German subtitles. That's particularly annoying for the English-speaking audience, because the filmmakers tried to include as much of Wilde's original text as possible. That made for a lot of intertitles. I cleaned them up, eliminating the German subtitles, so now there's just the o...
