  In the 1890s Oscar Wilde enjoyed one of the most high-profile reputations in Britain; yet, virtually overnight, he was plunged into disgrace and ruin. What were the reasons for this extraordinary reversal of fortune? This title explores Wilde's motivation in prosecuting the Marquess of Queensberry, and elaborates on the precarious legal situation.
