About this listen
He dazzled Victorian society with wit sharper than a blade.
In Part One of this two-part series, we trace the extraordinary rise of Oscar Wilde — from Dublin prodigy to Oxford aesthete, from society darling to controversial novelist.
We explore his early life, his devotion to beauty and aestheticism, his marriage, journalism, essays, and the publication of The Picture of Dorian Gray, the novel that scandalised Britain and cemented his reputation as both genius and provocateur.
Before the trials.
Before the prison.
Before the disgrace.
This is the making of a legend — brilliant, flamboyant, and dangerously ahead of his time.
Part Two examines the scandal, the courtroom drama, imprisonment, and the tragic final years.
