De Profundis

Author: Oscar Wilde | Publisher: Arcturus
De Profundis is an epistle written by Oscar Wilde during his imprisonment in Reading Gaol, to Lord Alfred Douglas. During its first half Wilde recounts their previous relationship and extravagant lifestyle which eventually led to Wilde's conviction and imprisonment for gross indecency. He indicts both Lord Alfred's vanity and his own weakness in acceding to those wishes. In the second half, Wilde charts his spiritual development in prison and identification with Jesus Christ, whom he characterizes as a romantic, individualist artist.* Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's readers as it would have been when first published, this piece is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.
