Wilde, Oscar. De Profundis. Methuen & Co., London, 1908.

Price: US$375.00 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: One of 1000 copies on hand made paper, part of the 14 volume set issued under the Editorship of Robert Ross as the First Complete Edition of The Works of Oscar Wilde. Ross, to whom the manuscript was handed by Wilde on the day he left prison, has provided material printed here for the first time. These inlcude A Prefatory Dedication to Dr. Max Meyerfield and Four Letters written to Ross from Reading Prison. At the end are two letters on Prison Life collected from periodical appearance in 1897 and 1898. This volume was issued as Volume XI of the Works, but as in all volumes of the set, there is no volume number on the title page, and none on the binding. This is a very attractive untrimmed copy, with fully gilt spine decoration, in early 20th c. red calf. With the important additional matter, it stands comfortably on its own as a single volume.
