Description
After being a footnote, or even a whole chapter, in countless biographies of Oscar Wilde, Lord Alfred Douglas finally got his own story told in 2000 by Douglas Murray. Murray’s first move was to secure the release of a Home Office file which was supposed to remain sealed until 2043. This mysterious document is said to “hold the key to Bosie’s state of mind while in prison and the only original workings of some of his best poetry”. For, like Wilde, Bosie was himself imprisoned for libel – of none other than Winston Churchill. This first major look at one of the most significant characters of the late Victorian and early Edwardian era is told with passion, sincerity and accuracy. This first edition is in very good condition.
