Hosted by Lord Alfred Douglas · EN
In Oscar Wilde and Myself, Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas presents his first memoir, crafted 14 years after Oscar Wildes death and in the wake of Douglass unsuccessful libel case against Arthur Ransome.

He passionately challenges Wildes portrayal of their shared past, taking aim at Ransome, Wildes confidant Robert Ross, and various biographers, while also critiquing Wildes character and literary contributions.
