The true history of Shakespeare's sonnets

by Alfred Bruce Douglas

Fascinating book by Lord Alfred Douglas, the notorious lover of the great English author and personality Oscar Wilde. Inspired by Wilde's own short story,"The Picture of Mr. W.H.," this is Douglas' own take on the young man who was the recipient of the sonnets of Shakespeare. A rare and collectible book that is an extension of one of the most troubled and controversial relationships in history.

About the author

Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas was an British author, poet and translator, better known as the intimate friend and lover of the writer Oscar Wilde. Much of his early poetry was Uranian in theme, though he tended, later in life, to distance himself from both Wilde's influence and his own role as a Uranian poet.
