Robert Baldwin Ross

    Robert Baldwin Ross fue un periodista y crítico de arte canadiense, conocido principalmente como albacea del patrimonio de Oscar Wilde, con quien mantuvo una amistad de por vida. Su homosexualidad abierta en una época en que los actos homosexuales eran ilegales le acarreó muchas dificultades. Ross realizó importantes contribuciones a la literatura como albacea literario de Wilde, leyendo y sugiriendo a menudo mejoras en los textos de Wilde. Aunque su propia producción literaria fue modesta, es autor de una colección de cuentos y reseñas titulada Masques and Phases y también trabajó como crítico de arte.
