A propos de l’auteur

Charles Grolleau, a figure lesser-known in mainstream literary circles, contributed to the turn-of-the-century literature in a distinctive manner through his work as a translator and as an author. One of his notable contributions is ‘The Trial of Oscar Wilde, from the Shorthand Reports, ‘ which encompasses the detailed accounts of the infamous 1895 trials of the Irish playwright and poet, leading to Wilde’s conviction on charges of gross indecency. Grolleau’s work provides a comprehensive and verbatim record of the legal proceedings which, beyond mere documentation, offers insight into the socio-legal context of the time. Grolleau’s literary style, particularly in this bibliographical endeavour, could be construed as one that values precision and factual integrity, a stance that is vital for historical and legal recountings. Through this effort, he helped preserve a crucial moment in the history of LGBTQ rights and literature. While Grolleau might not be among the widely acclaimed authors, his meticulous work in capturing the plight of Wilde has bestowed upon scholars and literary enthusiasts an invaluable resource for understanding the intersection of law, social ethics, and the life of one of the most celebrated figures in literature.
