Description
De Profundis (1897) is a long, emotional letter written by Oscar Wilde to his former lover, Lord Alfred Douglas ("Bosie"), from Reading Gaol prison. It serves as a scathing critique of Douglas's selfishness, a reflection on Wilde's own life, artistic philosophy, and spiritual transformation through suffering, comparing his downfall to that of Jesus Christ.
