  12. An English Speaking Culture • Ireland The Republic of Ireland is the official description of the sovereign state which covers approximately five-sixths of the island of Ireland, off the coast of north-west Europe. The state's official name is Ireland (in the Irish language: Éire) and this is how international organisations and residents usually refer to the country. It is a member of the European Union, has a developed economy and a population of slightly more than 4.2 million. The remaining sixth of the island of Ireland is known as Northern Ireland and is part of the United Kingdom. Source: Wikipedia

  16. An English Speaking Culture • The Importance of Being Earnest, a play by Oscar Wilde This play was a great triumph since its first performance. Earnest is free of any melodrama; it brought irony, satire and verbal witt to English drama. Yet follows an unusually clever plotline, where alter egos adopt false identities while adopting the name that was popular among women at that time, Earnest.

  17. An English Speaking Culture • Oscar Wilde and His Style Oscar Wilde is known for his incisive and scathing attach on Victorian values. A married father of two, fell madly in love with Lord Alfred Douglas. Oscar Wilde was sued by the father of his lover and inprisioned. This way hee falls from the heights of British society to the depths of prison and exile. Oscar Wilde was the first famous homosexual in history. One of the 19th century’s greatest contributors to literature, his epigrams are endlessly quoted. His paradoxical parables remain inprint, most notably The Picture of Dorian Gray. In his play Salome, Wilde applies the musical technique of constructing melodies by repeating words, phrases and thoughts like musical motifs, the text is very poetic and melodic and thus suits well for musical arrangings.
