The British Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is a writer of aesthetic literature. When Wilde studied at Trinity College in Dublin and Oxford University in his youth, he was deeply influenced by Hegelian philosophy, Darwinian evolution theory and the British Pre-Raphaelite theory, and became the inspiration for the aesthetic views of John Ruskin and Walter Pater. A believer, he became famous in 1881 with the publication of "Collected Poems". From the 1880s to the 1890s, he published the fairy tale "The Happy Prince" (1888), the essay "The Fall of Lying" (1889), the novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1891), and the play "Lady Windermere's Fan". (1892), "The Insignificant Woman" (1893) and "Salome" (1893), etc. He was jailed for homosexuality in 1895 and released in 1897. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is Oscar Wilde's masterpiece of aestheticism. The novel uses a combination of fantasy and reality to describe the process of a beautiful young man, Dorian Gray, from purity to corruption and destruction. In the novel, Wilde elaborates on the aesthetics of aestheticism - beauty has nothing to do with morality. Beauty is an existence higher than reality. People cannot use moral standards to measure its value.
