The Autobiography of Lord Alfred Douglas by Lord Alfred Douglas (*1870 - † 1945)[**TRANSLATORTXT**]
Text source: https://upload.legamus.eu/simple/files/ ... graphy.pdf (please only read from this text!)Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas wrote his autobiography in his late fifties, five years after serving a six month sentence at Wormwood Scrubs for libelling Winston Churchill. Since the publication of his first memoir, the vitriolic “Oscar Wilde and Myself” (1914), Douglas’s anger at Wilde had cooled somewhat, but he still took the opportunity in his autobiography to strike back at his many other perceived enemies.
