Synopsis

De Profundis is Oscar Wilde's fascinating account of his lifestyle and the relationship which led to his conviction for gross indecency in 1895. Written as a letter while a prisoner in Reading Gaol, explores Wilde's journey of self-discovery as a convict and brings to life the challenges of being an outsider in a society that expected conformity. Featuring both the horrors of prison life and the events that led him there, De Profundis is a poignant and moving work.

Author Bio
Oscar Wilde was born in October 1854 in Dublin. After attending Trinity College in Dublin and Magdalen College in Oxford, Wilde embarked on a career as a poet, quickly establishing himself as a leading figure in the aesthetic movement. Shortly after his marriage to Constance Lloyd, Wilde accepted the editorship of Lady's World, an obscure magazine whose fortunes he revived. Simultaneously, his own writing career took off. He was at the height of his powers when the unwise prosecution for libel of Lord Alfred Douglas, led to imprisonment and social disgrace in 1895. He died in exile in 1900, aged 46.
