Written from Wilde's prison cell at Reading Gaol to his friend and lover Lord Alfred Douglas,De Profundisexplodes the conventions of the traditional love letter and offers a scathing indictment of Douglas's behavior, a mournful elegy for Wilde's own lost greatness, and an impassioned plea for reconciliation. At once a bracingly honest account of ruinous attachment and a profound meditation on human suffering,De Profundisis a classic of gay literature. Richard Ellmann callsDe Profundis"a love letter...One of the greatest, and the longest, ever written."
