Synopsis

Hook line : Letters From the Deep collects Wilde’s supplementary prison letters, offering a window into literature, friendship, and the artist’s life behind bars.

The text frames a portrait of Wilde as he contemplates his work, his circumstances, and the role of art in a life under confinement. It situates his letters within a broader conversation about literature, loyalty, and creative identity while preserving the intimate voice of a writer facing difficult truths.

  • Wilde’s candid thoughts on reading, writing, and the sustaining power of literature in prison
  • Practical notes on his plans, including appointing a literary executor and protecting his works
  • References to other writers and literary culture, highlighting the exchange of ideas across eras
  • An intimate look at emotion, resilience, and the daily life of a jailed artist
Ideal for readers of Oscar Wilde, literary correspondence, and 19th‑century prison writing.

Présentation de l'éditeur

January 6th, 1896. My dear Robbie, Consider now, my dear Robbie, my proposal. I think my wife, who in money matters is most honourable and high-minded, will refund the 75 paid for my share. I have no doubt she will. But I think it should be offered from me, and that I should not accept anything in the way of income from her ;I can accept what is given in love and affection to me, but I could not accept what is doled out grudgingly or with conditions. I would sooner let my wife be quite free. She may marry again.
