- Summary
- In this study of 'De Profundis,' Wilde is fashioned as a complex, and often ambiguous, writer. The author examines Wilde's resourcefulness and improvisation skills in adopting essentialist or anti-essentialist positions for his own strategic ends, challenging the idea that Wilde was simply a tragic victim defeated by the penal system.
