In this third instalment in our Oscar Wilde series, we take a closer look at how definitions and understandings of sexuality changed during Wilde’s lifetime, and how same-sex relationships fit into the Victorian worldview. We also delve into Wilde’s toxic relationship with Bosie, a.k.a Lord Alfred Douglas, and how his infatuation with this cruel and exacting figure fed into his ultimate downfall.
