Controversy: The author, perhaps best known for his work, "The Picture of Dorian Gray," and his play, "The Importance of Being Earnest," wrote in the style of the Aestheticism movement of the day, which moved art away from teaching lessons and towards it being beautiful.  His controversial life led to a trial and imprisonment for homosexual sodomy.
