Oscar Wilde / 王尔德
Oscar Wilde enters the wiki through 60.闲聊伟大作家们的八卦（第一弹）, where [[MihuanChishu|蜜獾吃书]] uses him as the opening case for literary celebrity, persecution, style, and posthumous reputation. The source presents him as a writer whose aesthetic performance, sexuality, courtroom disaster, prison suffering, illness, exile, and tomb afterlife all became part of the public story around his work.
The episode keeps Wilde inside Author Myth Deflation rather than pure martyrdom or pure scandal. His dorm-room peacocking, bullying by schoolmates, relationship with Alfred Douglas, prosecution under an unjust sexual regime, and later poverty in France make his image both glamorous and materially painful.
The Paris tomb segment makes Wilde useful for Literary Gossip As Context. The episode treats vandalism, later fan kisses, and restored memorial symbolism as signs that an author’s public meaning changes after death as sexual politics and literary celebrity cultures shift.
