Described hard and in detailbut fairly and honestly - still an acceptable stop-gap example. Originally an Oscar Wilde letter to 'Bosie Lord Alfred Douglas written whilst incarcerated in Reading Gaoltowards the end of his sentence between Jan to March1897.Allowed to take it with him on his release 18 May1897he entrusted it to journalist Robert Ross another former loverloyal friend and rival to "Bosie" and Wilde's literary executor. Ross typed two copies.Those typescripts copies contained several hundred errorsincluding typist's mistakeshis own emendations and other omissions.Book was published posthumously in 1905five years after Wilde's death.But Ross had excised its autobiographical elements and expurgated all references to the Queensberry family.A secondslightly expanded version appeared in an edition of Collected Works of Wilde published by Ross between 1908 and 1922.Also included were three other letters Wilde wrote from Reading Prison and his two letters to the editor of the Daily Chronicle written after his release.Ross then donated the manuscript to the British Museum with the understanding that it would not be made public until 1960.Vyvyan HollandWilde's sonin 1949 published the full textbut was using the faulty typescript bequeathed to him by Ross and it wasn't until 1962that the newfull and correct version was published in a volume titled 'The Complete Letters of Oscar Wilde.'
