Wilde, Oscar, -- 1854-1900.
Summary:
In Victorian England the work of the courts was a subject of immense public interest, with the leading barristers of the day enjoying celebrity status. In this era there was no litigation more closely followed than the trials of Oscar Wilde. This fascinating lecture, presented by The Honourable Alan Wilson AC, charts the course of libel and criminal trials that ultimately led to Wilde’s conviction of gross indecency. November marks the anniversary of Oscar Wilde’s death in 1900 at the age of 46.
