Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 - 30 November 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays, as well as the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death.
Wilde was initially buried in the Cimetiere de Bagneux outside Paris; in 1909 his remains were disinterred and transferred to Pere Lachaise Cemetery, inside the city.
In 2012, Wilde was inducted into the Legacy Walk, an outdoor public display which celebrates LGBT history and people. It is located in Chicago, Illinois.
