Farin, Farin, Farin. Oscar Wilde war gar nicht britisch.

Ah, but at the time Ireland still belonged to Britain. Ireland did not become an independent republic until 1921 (according to Wikipedia), and Wilde died in 1900.

Plus, his father was British.

I fully agree that Ireland, now, cannot be considered part of Britain.

*even more Klugscheisserei*

Of course Ireland was not an independent State at the time, but I've never heard of Wilde being described as "British" before...

Me neither, but I guess it's not technically incorrect...I've definitely always thought of him as Irish though.
