Oscar Wilde is the author of "The Importance of Being Earnest" from which the character of Algernon is taken.  The novel presents a satire of the Victorian aristocracy.

The play is a ludicrous comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious characters to escape oppressive social obligations. Presenting the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways. Its high mockery and witty dialogues have helped make The Importance of Being Earnest Wilde's most popular play.
