Summary
Among the most infamous prosecutions of a literary figure in history, the two trials of Oscar Wilde for committing acts of 'gross indecency' occurred at the height of his fame. The trials prompted a new intolerance toward homosexuality: habits of male bonding that were previously seen as innocent were now viewed as a threat, and an association grew in the public mind between gay men and the arts. 'Oscar Wilde on Trial' provides an accurate and authoritative account of events that proved pivotal in both legal and cultural history.
