De Profundis

Oscar Wilde

Biographies, British Literature

Translated by Boutens P. C.

De Profundis is a letter written by Oscar Wilde during his imprisonment in the late 19th century. This reflective work blends autobiography and philosophical musings, exploring themes of suffering, love, and redemption, particularly in relation to his tumultuous relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas. Wilde contemplates the nature of pain and personal transformation, suggesting that true artistic insight arises from suffering. The text serves as a profound meditation on isolation, remorse, and the search for meaning in the face of adversity.
