The article focuses on the mental state of Irish author Oscar Wilde during 1896 and how it related to his sexual history. The author explores medical records of men in Victorian England who were found not guilty of sodomy by reason of insanity, examines the care of criminal lunatics, including John Gocher, and analyzes the case of Wilde being convicted of gross indecency.
