In fact, he became one of the most successful playwrights in London in that era. Many of his plays are still being performed. He also authored many short stories and one novel. Wilde was put in prison for two years’ hard labour upon his conviction of “gross indecency” with other men, and after he was released he left Ireland never to return.
