Letters of Oscar Wilde, Volume 2 (1890-1895) 

Compiled and recorded by Rob Marland (running time: 02:38:10) 

This second collection of the correspondence of Oscar Wilde includes 
letters written when the Irish playwright was at the height of his success. 
Wilde defends several of his works from criticism and even censorship, 
and writes "prose poems" to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, that will 
eventually be read out in court. The letters, some of which have been 
excerpted or redacted, are sourced from auction catalogues, 
newspapers, biographies, and other texts in the public domain. For a 
complete collection of Wilde's letters, please see "The Complete Letters 
of Oscar Wilde," (2000) edited by Merlin Holland and Rupert Hart-Davis.
