Sgeulachd Jane Wilde no "Speranza". Bha Jane aithnichte ann an Èirinn agus nas fhaide air falbh mus robh cliù aig a mac Oscar airson a chuid sgrìobhaidh. B’ e bana-bhàrd chliùiteach a bh’ innte agus bha i ainmeil ann am beatha shòisealta Bhaile Ath Cliath. Bha i cuideachd gu mòr airson cùis nan nàiseantach ann an Èirinn. Ach nuair a chaill Oscar a chliù thachair mar an ceudna do Jane. Bhàsaich i ann an Lunnainn fhad ’s a bha Oscar sa phrìosan agus chaidh a tiodhlacadh gun urram.

The story of Jane Wilde, or ‘Speranza’. Jane was well known in Ireland and further afield long before crowds flocked to her son Oscar’s plays. She was a poet, a nationalist and a celebrity on the Dublin social scene. Yet when Oscar’s reputation was ruined, Jane’s reputation was also lost. She died in London while Oscar was imprisoned and was buried in a pauper’s grave.
