Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas was a Welsh poet and writer known for his intense lyricism and highly imaginative language. His most notable works include the poems "Do not go gentle into that good night" and "Fern Hill," as well as the radio play "Under Milk Wood." Thomas was a pioneer in modern poetry, blending surrealism with traditional verse forms to create a unique and powerful style. His work often explores themes of life, death, and the passage of time. Thomas's impact on literature can be seen in his influence on later poets and writers, as well as his enduring popularity among readers. His most famous work, "Do not go gentle into that good night," is a poignant meditation on mortality and the will to live. Dylan Thomas's legacy continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde was an Irish playwright, novelist, and essayist known for his wit, flamboyant style, and sharp social commentary. His most famous works include the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" and the novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray," both of which explore themes of identity, morality, and societal expectations. Wilde's writing is characterized by clever wordplay, satirical humor, and a keen observation of human nature. He was a key figure in the aesthetic and decadent movements of the late 19th century and is considered one of the most important voices in British literature. Wilde's impact on literature can be seen in his subversion of conventional Victorian norms and his pioneering use of irony and paradox.
