Creator, dramatist and artist, Oscar Wilde was a mainstream scholarly figure in late Victorian Britain. In the wake of moving on from Oxford College, he addressed as an artist, workmanship pundit and a main advocate of the standards of aestheticism. In 1891, he distributed The Image of Dorian Dim, his solitary novel which was panned as corrupt by Victorian pundits, however is presently viewed as one of his most remarkable works. As a producer, a large number of Wilde's plays were generally welcomed including his humorous comedies like Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Women of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), his most popular play. Whimsical in his composition and life, Wilde's issue with a youngster prompted his capture on charges of "net foulness" in 1895. He was detained for a very long time and kicked the bucket in destitution three years after his delivery at 46 years old.

Sorry -- I was a little hasty with my accusation; I apologize for making it. I think what must have happened is that you read Wilde's biography off of an "anti-plagiarism bot" site -- there exist a lot of websites of dubious character that copy articles from other websites and use a bot to swap out some of the words with synonyms, so as to make the article "different" and preclude accusations of plagiarism. In this case the bot must not have been able to tell the difference between "ordinary text" and the titles of Wilde's works. How you managed to end up on one of those sites is another question entirely, but in the future I recommend you just use Wikipedia; sure, you'll get people saying that it's "not always accurate," but I've never noticed any real mistakes on it.
