Oscar Wilde had one of literary history's most explosive love
affairs with Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas. In 1895, Bosie's father,
the Marquess of Queensberry, delivered a note to the Albemarle Club
addressed to "Oscar Wilde posing as sodomite." With Bosie's
encouragement, Wilde sued the Marquess for libel. He not only lost
but he was tried twice for "gross indecency" and sent to prison
with two years' hard labor. With this publication of the uncensored
trial transcripts, readers can for the first time in more than a
century hear Wilde at his most articulate and brilliant. The Real
Trial of Oscar Wilde documents an alarmingly swift fall from grace;
it is also a supremely moving testament to the right to live, work,
and love as one's heart dictates.
