In 1895, John Douglas, Marquess of Queensbury and father of Alfred Douglas?Oscar Wilde’s intimate friend and lover?left a note at the Albemarle Club for the playwright addressing him as a ?sodomite.” Unable to let the slight pass, and egged on by Alfred, Wilde sued the marquess for libel, thus initiating a sensational trial that would result in the sentencing of the former to two years of hard labor. This fascinating chronicle of the trial gathers heretofore inaccessible transcripts and portrays Wilde with all of his eloquence, wit, and theatricality, qualities that were nonetheless unable to prevent?and, indeed, may have contributed to?his conviction. This riveting account will appeal to Wilde enthusiasts, fans of literature, and legal scholars.
