Caspar Wintermans' controversial biography of Lord Alfred Douglas aims to defend Oscar Wilde's beloved Bosie from over a century of false accusations and misinformation. By engaging with the source of these attacks, Wilde's De Profundis, Wintermans demonstrates that this work was written in despair while Wilde was incarcerated, being passionate, cruel, and deeply untruthful. Wintermans proves that, far from being a rakish homme fatale, Alfred Douglas was a supportive and kind lover who worshipped the playwright and whose life was destroyed by both those who loved and hated Wilde. Accompanied by an annotated anthology of Douglas' poetry, this biography is a revealing and moving representation of a tragically misunderstood poet.
