After his marriage to Constance Lloyd in 1884, he tried to establish himself as a writer, but with little initial success. Despite winning a first and the Newdigate Prize for Poetry, Wilde failed to obtain an Oxford scholarship, and was forced to earn a living by lecturing and writing for periodicals.
He went to Trinity College, Dublin and then to Magdalen College, Oxford, where he began to propagandize the new Aesthetic (or 'Art for Art's Sake') Movement. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854.
