Description

Book Synopsis
Presents the textual history of one of the most famous love letters ever written, "De Profundis." This work argues that Wilde's prison document may be seen not just as the basis of a letter, but also as an unfinished literary work which he intended for public consumption at some future date.

Trade Review
Its place in the Iomplete WorksR^ is totally deserved, and its editorial treatment is exemplary. * Peter Hollindale, The Review of English Studies *
