The Ballad of Reading Gaol is Oscar Wilde’s meditation on capital punishment. It comes after he was convicted and imprisoned under charges of gross indecency.
The charges stemmed from his affair with Lord Alfred Douglas, the son of the Marquis of Queensberry. It relates the story of an execution of a man who murdered his wife which Wilde witnessed during his internment.
Published in 1898, it was Wilde’s last published poem as he would die in 1900 from cerebral menengitis, caused by syphilis.
The Ballad of Reading Gaol is an essential reading for any lover of great poetry, and certainly for any fan of Oscar Wilde.
Wit, intellectual, aesthete and raconteur, Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854. His writing - including childrens stories, poetry, philosophical essays, a novel and several hugely popular plays - made him the greatest celebrity of his day, and he remains one of the worlds most frequently-quoted and well-loved writers.
