Oscar Wilde is convicted of "committing acts of gross indecency with
other male persons" and sentenced to serve two years in prison.
While there he wrote his last work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898),
a long poem commemorating the harsh rhythms of prison life.
On his release, he left for France, never to return to Britain or Ireland.
