Oscar Wilde is today considered one of the most important authors of the Victorian era, and yet during his lifetime he was punished as a homosexual and a criminal. Yet he never made a secret of his sexual identity. Wilde openly lived out his relationship with Alfred Douglas, despite his marriage to Constanza Lloyd and their two sons. But it became his undoing when Douglas's father sued him in a court case for his "lewdness." While the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray aimed to hold a mirror up to the Victorian aristocracy in its craving for pleasure and consumerism, it was used against Wilde in court. As a result, he had to spend two years in the penitentiary, during which his health deteriorated sharply. Only three years later, on November 30, 1900, he died impoverished in Paris.
