This book begins with the place where Oscar Wilde was born. Late in 1997, the house at No. 21 Westland Row, the first home of William and Jane Wilde, began a new phase of its existence. It had, like most of that side of the street, belonged to Trinity College for a number of years. Trinity's School of English was establishing a base for postgraduate teaching which had long needed a proper home. Studying for the Master's degree in Anglo-Irish Literature or for the new Master's in Creative Writing, students came from a variety of countries, and a variety of academic and non-academic backgrounds. The plaque on the facade commemorating the birth of Oscar on 16 October 1864 was joined by a neat wooden board in Irish and English announcing the Oscar Wilde Centre for Irish writing.
