The work of the Irish writer Oscar Fingal O `Flahertie Wills Wilde reflects not only his philosophy corresponding to aestheticism and morality, but also his political and ideological posture. Firstly, a brief profile of the author is presented, followed by the most relevant aspects of his historical context related to the principles he defended. Afterward, an analysis of this context is made through two of his works. On one hand, the story The Birthday of the Infanta, from the collection A House of Pomegranates, and on the other, his novel The Portrait of Dorian Gray, which together exemplify his position on the excesses of British society.
