Oscar Wilde and Myself - Lord Alfred Douglas

"Oscar Wilde and Myself" is the first memoir by Lord Alfred Douglas, penned fourteen years after Oscar Wilde's death and amid Douglas's failed libel case against Arthur Ransome. In this candid account, Douglas challenges Wilde's portrayal of their relationship and the circumstances surrounding Wilde's imprisonment, while also critiquing Ransome and other figures in Wilde's life. As Douglas defends his legacy and asserts that Wilde's influence may fade, the memoir offers a compelling glimpse into the complexities of friendship, betrayal, and the struggle for personal narrative.
