Tall 8vo. 151 pp. The fine John Quinn copy with his bookplate on the front pastedown. De Profundis is an extended letter written by Wilde during his incarceration in Reading Gaol to Lord Alfred Douglas. After his release Wilde gave the manuscript to journalist Robert Ross another former lover who edited portions for a first publication in 1905 the complete version remained unpublished until the 1960s. The letter recounts Wilde's years with Douglas and elements of their relationship and traces his spiritual growth. Ross's preface to this work quotes Wilde's summation of "De Profundis": "I don't defend my conduct. I explain it . I know that on the day of my release I will merely be moving from one prison to another and there are times when the whole world seems to be no larger than my cell and as full of terror for me. Still at the beginning I believe that God made a world for each separate man and within that world which is within us one should seek to live." Mason 389.
