writing and he excelled academically. After graduating from Oxford, Wilde moved to London and began to make a name for himself as a writer and a public speaker. He became associated with the aesthetic movement, a group of artists and writers who valued beauty and artifice above all else. In 1881, Wilde published his first collection of poetry which received mixed reviews. Eventually, it was his play, The Importance of Being Earnest which premiered in 1895 that is considered his masterpiece.
