After university, Wilde moved to London into
fashionable cultural and social circles. As a spokesman for
aestheticism, he tried his hand at various literary activities: he published a book of poems, lectured in the United States and Canada on the new "English Renaissance in Art", and then returned to London where he worked prolifically as a journalist.
