Bosie Zusammenfassung

Bosie: The Tragic Life of Lord Alfred Douglas Douglas Murray

WITH A NEW FOREWORD AND REVISED INTRODUCTION

'A superb biography ... full of compassion, perception' Roger Lewis, The Times

'I love this book. Douglas Murray is a genius' Rupert Everett

Lord Alfred Douglas, known as 'Bosie', son of the Marquess of Queensberry, was known as one of the most beautiful young men of his generation.
Aged twenty-one he met and became the lover and subsequent obsession of Oscar Wilde.

Their relationship caused a scandal in 1895 when Wilde took Queensberry, Douglas's aggressive father, to court for libel. When the details of their relationship were aired in court, Wilde was convicted of gross indecency and later imprisoned.

Wilde's story is well known, but this is the first book to tell it fully from Douglas's perspective. Written, and originally published in 2000, with access to never-before-seen papers , Bosie explores the contradictions, tensions and turmoils of Douglas's life with Wilde and beyond as a poet, husband and father.

This compelling biography uncovers the life of one of the most notorious figures in literary history, and its course from gilded beautiful youth to semi-reclusive outcast, at the time of Douglas's death in 1945.
