Eccles Bequest. Vols. XXVII-XXIX. Papers relating to 'De Profundis'; 1895-1913, n.d. Fifty thousand word letter / essay written by Oscar Wilde to Lord Alfred Douglas from Reading Gaol. On release, Wilde gave the manuscript to Robert Baldwin Ross, who published a suppressed copy (about two thirds of the original) in 1905. This was expanded slightly for the Collected Works (1908). A limited edition was later published in New York that included certain portions of the suppressed sections. Ross donated the manuscript to the British Museum in 1909 on the understanding that it would not be available to the public until 1960 (see Add. 50141 A). A complete and correct publication did not appear until The Letters of Oscar Wilde, ed. Rupert Hart Davis (1962).
Three volumes.
