Oscar Wilde (16 October 185430 November 1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. After completing his education in Ireland and the UK, Wilde became associated with the philosophy of aestheticism and then settled in London.

wait, there was a time both before and after public statements of a “philosophy of aestheticism”?

An interesting man, friend of GBS, talented writer, loving husband and a victim of himself.

Damn! Only 183,406 years until he'll be born! Can't wait! Presumably, he'll travel back in time so he can die in 1900.
