After graduating from Oxford, Oscar Wilde takes to self-publishing his poems in an effort to get the recognition he needed to make a living on his work. The reception is mixed with harsh criticism and effusive praise. Unfortunately, the poems fail to be the debut he needs. As for the poetry itself, it begins the journey toward Dorian Gray and the indecency that British society will decry him for. Even now, in the early stages of indecency, Oscar Wilde manages to get himself in trouble with the father of his roommate. Shortly thereafter, he's tossed out of the house where he was living with roommate Frank Miles. Ironically, this move that dislocates his social life leads to the unique opportunity to entertain American elites and make some money while doing so. With no reason to remain in England after the disaster with Frank, Oscar immediately grabs onto the idea. And so begins his rise to fame.All Rights Reserved
