Oscar Wilde grandson to collect reissued British Library passThe grandson of #OscarWilde will collect a British Library pass symbolically reinstated to the celebrated Irish writer 130 years after it was revoked when he was convicted for being #gay.
In 1895, the storied London library's trustees banned Mr Wilde - one of the greatest playwrights and all-round wits of that century - after he had been imprisoned for "gross indecency".
Same-sex relationships were a criminal offence at the time.
