Book: Wilde's trials

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

It's the transcripts, assembled and edited by his grandson.

I've only just started - still on the libel trial - but it's fabulous. I think I'm about to go on a bit of a Wilde bender. Not the stuff by him, except perhaps De Profundis, but all the biogs I can get my hands on. And then I'll watch Fry being Wilde, though that, IIRC, was a bit salacious. But then Wilde was a bit salacious betimes, too.
