Irish Peacock and Scarlet Marquess: The Real Trial of Oscar Wilde by Merlin Holland

challenging informative relaxing slow-paced

3.5

This book does what it says on the tin - it is the transcript of Wilde’s first trial, and as fascinating as it is to hear his words reach out to you through history, sometimes the formality of the trial makes the book lag a bit. An interesting and engaging read for anyone interested in Wilde or queer history.
