'Trial of Oscar Wilde' Summary
Oscar Wilde, the celebrated Irish writer, faced trial in 1895 on charges of gross indecency. The accusations arose from his relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas, and the proceedings became a sensationalized public spectacle. This book provides a meticulous account of both trials, drawn from original shorthand court reports. It captures the dramatic exchanges and reveals the mounting evidence against Wilde as young men took the stand to testify about their encounters with him. Wilde's renowned defense speech, in which he defended the 'love that dare not speak its name,' is also included, along with his cross-examination and the final verdict. This historical document offers a unique glimpse into the legal battle that profoundly impacted Wilde's life and legacy.Book Details
