Oscar Wilde is often remembered in fragments. A line quoted out of context. A drawing room filled with laughter. A reputation for brilliance that seems almost too polished to question. Over time, that surface—witty, dazzling, effortlessly clever—can begin to feel like the whole. But Wilde’s work resists that simplification. Beneath the epigrams lies a writer…
