Trial of Oscar Wilde

Trial of Oscar Wilde

by Anonymous

This book presents a detailed account of the two trials of Oscar Wilde, the renowned Irish writer, in 1895. Wilde was accused of gross indecency, a charge that stemmed from his relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas. The trials were highly publicized and became a cause célèbre, exposing the social and legal attitudes towards homosexuality in Victorian England. The book offers an unvarnished look at the proceedings, including the famous defense speech by Wilde, in which he eloquently articulated his views on love and morality. It also features the testimonies of several young men who claimed to have had relationships with Wilde.
