Bristol Gay Men's Book Group, Bristol, Somerset
22 February 2010: Bristol Gay Men's Book Group
We're a friendly bunch of guys who meet up once a month to discuss a chosen book (with a bit of gossip and bitching about life on the side). You may wish to bring a bottle. For further information email bristolbookclub@hotmail.co.uk
At our February meeting we shall be discussing "De Profundis, Ballad of Reading Gaol and Other Writings" (Wordsworth Classics, Paperback) by Oscar Wilde. Note that there are a number of books by Oscar Wilde on the market, all called "De Profundis", but they have different content. The publication being discussed will be the Wordsworth Classics edition.
Description:
This title comes with an introduction and notes by Anne Varty, Royal Holloway, University of London. "De Profundis" is Wilde's eloquent and bitter reproach from prison to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. He contrasts his behaviour with that of his close friend Robert Ross who became Wilde's literary executor. "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" is a deeply moving and characteristically generous poem on the horrors of prison life, which was published anonymously in 1898. This collection also includes the essay "The Soul of Man under Socialism" and two of his Platonic dialogues, "The Decay of Lying" and "The Critic as Artist".
