Abstract
Oscar Wilde’s literary works have significantly influenced the stylistic evolution of the English language in literature. His mastery of wit, irony, and paradox set a new standard for eloquence and sophistication in writing. This paper explores Wilde’s impact on English literary style, particularly in drama and prose, by analyzing his use of language, rhetorical devices, and innovative narrative techniques. Additionally, the paper examines how Wilde’s stylistic legacy continues to shape modern English literature.
