Introducing important evidence from the recently discovered written record of Oscar Wilde's first courtroom trial, Acting Wilde explores Wilde's strategic dramatising of himself. The resulting portrait is of an Oscar Wilde who anticipates and even surpasses the insights of contemporary critical theory while laying the foundation for 'modern drama'.
