Difference
Oscar Wilde was subjected to a stringent cross-examination, with a view of showing "Dorian Grey" and some articles in the magazine
'Chameleon,' with which he is connected, are of an immoral tendency. Wilde insisted they are merely an expression of artistic faculty. His letters to Lord
Douglas were prose poems, extraordinary perhaps, but not justifying immoral interpretation. He admitted he gave one of his alleged blackmailers twenty-one
pounds and lunched with him in a private room afterwards. The case was adjourned, the defendant being admitted to bail.
