Description or summary of the audiobook: Oscar Wilde had one of literary history's mostexplosive love affairs with Lord Alfred 'Bosie'Douglas. In 1895, Bosie's father, the Marquessof Queensberry, delivered a note to the Albemarle Clubaddressed to 'Oscar Wilde posing as sodomite.' WithBosie's encouragement, Wilde sued the Marquess forlibel. He not only lost but he was tried twice for 'grossindecency' 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 hearWilde at his most articulate and brilliant. The Real Trialof Oscar Wilde documents an alarmingly swift fall fromgrace; it is also a supremely moving testament to the rightto live, work, and love as one's heart dictates.
