I don't understand why the narrator gives him an English accent.

“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -- Oscar Wilde

Happy birthday, Oscar. Wish you were here.

[DougPatton1]

Can't keep a good Gay down.

Still gloriously takin' the piss from beyond, Oscar 'Hard On' Wilde at 7m.45s.

Y does this person av an english accent when he was an irish man????

[DuskAndHerEmbrace13]

Well I read it in a rather reputable biography but perhaps it is just speculation! However I'm sure the experience of attending Oxford University in those days was more of a formal affair than it is now. It's probably true that students had to conform to the (all-be-it-new) Received Pronunciation of the time as it was part of a gentleman's education which was probably standardised and generic. No modern anti-establishemnt students with dreadlocks and estuary accents like there are today!

If it is indeed an original, you really ought to bring it to some conduct of collectionist for inspection. There are plenty of so-called 'lost works' of Wilde's, and surely, if this book of yours was one, you would be paid handsomely should you bring to a place which can publish it.

A larger but less socially prominent element of the Protestant Irish population were the immigrant French Huguenots and the English and Scottish dissidents who settled in Ireland in the 17th and 18th centuries, many of whom later emigrated to the American colonies.
