A legendary writer and a pioneer into the realm of sarcasm, Oscar Wilde's continuing influence can be still be felt in many works of modern literature. His notable wit remained razor-sharp until the day he died, as illustrated by his dying words:

My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go.
~Wilde, on his wallpaper
 

Some leading resources on Wilde's life and times include this encyclopedia entry, which provides a comprehensive account of his storied life. There are also many detailed articles which summarize his existance, most of which are copies of the one. This version of Wilde's biography is one of the less-objectionable designs.

To learn more about Wilde, turn first to his early years. Alternatively, skip to his nudist years; it's probably what you're here for anyhow.
