The Complete Works Of Oscar Wilde - De Profundis; 'Epistola: In Carcere Et Vinculis'

Zusatztext Its place in the Iomplete WorksR^ is totally deserved, and its editorial treatment is exemplary. Klappentext Here is a collection of this witty and irreverent author's works--all in their most authoritative texts. Includes The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Importance of Being Earnest, and other stories and essays. Zusammenfassung 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.
