About the book

Oscar Wilde's De Profundis is a long letter written during his imprisonment in Reading Gaol. Addressed to Lord Alfred Douglas, it reflects on their troubled relationship, Wilde's downfall, suffering, art and spiritual transformation. The work reveals a much more serious and introspective side of a writer better known for wit and comedy. Moving between accusation, confession and spiritual reflection, the work reveals a more serious and vulnerable side of Wilde and stands as one of his most powerful pieces of autobiographical writing.
