Презентация, доклад Oscar Wilde and Charlotte Bronte

Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His mother wrote poetry, and she taught him to love literature.
He was educated at Trinity
College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. Soon after leaving university his first volume of poetry, "Patience" was published.
Oscar Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When the boys were children Wilde wrote fairy stories for them that were later published as "The Happy Prince and Other Tales" (1888).
Wildes tales are very beautiful. This was followed two years later by the novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1890) and a book on the role of the artist, "The Soul of Man under Socialism" (1891).

Comedies such as "Lady Windermere's Fan" (1892), "A Woman of No Importance" (1893), "An Ideal Husband" (1895) and "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1895) made him one of Britain's most famous writers. By 1895 Wilde had left his wife.
Wilde was publicly accused by the Marquis of Queensberry. Wilde sued for libel but he lost his case and was then himself prosecuted and imprisoned.
After being released from Reading Prison in 1897 Wilde moved to France.
The following year he wrote "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" a poem inspired by his prison experience. Wilde's time in prison badly damaged his health and he died in 1900.
His books are read and his plays are staged in many countries and in many languages.

Charlotte received her education at an orphanage (which she described in her novel Jane Eyre). After that she worked as a governess and a teacher.The works of Charlotte Bronte, together with Charles Dickens, William Thackery and Elisabeth Gaskell are considered to belong to the fine school of English realism of the first half of the 19th century.
In her works she wrote about the society she lived in and criticized it. Her first novel The Professor was published only after Charlottte's death.The best novel Jane Eyre, published in 1847, is partly biographical. In 1849 the novel Shirley was published. The story is about the Luddits, workers who did not understand that the real enemy of the working class were the capitalists and aristocrats. They thought that machinery, which they destroyed, was their enemy.
The last novel Vilette came out in 1853.
Charlotte Bronte died from tuberculosis in 1855.
The three Bronte sisters are well known writers and their books are published in many countries.
