    Don't believe the movie; Bosie was not a cruel young punk!
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2010*

I ordered this book after seeing the movie "Wilde" with Stephen Frye as Wilde and Jude Law as Bosie, in which Bosie is portrayed as a shallow, cruel, young cad, who cared only for himself and left Wilde in the lurch as soon as the times got hard.I thought to myself so why would Wilde care so deeply for such a person; and the answer is that Alfred Douglas was NOT such a person.As Murray makes clear, of Wilde's many friends, Douglas alone stuck with Wilde during and after the trial, as well as financed Wilde's defence.  He waited in exile in Europe for Wilde for the two years of Wilde's sentence, and when Wilde was released from prison, Douglas cared for Wilde and lived with him in Italy at his own expense.  He left Wilde ONLY when the Douglas family threatened to cut off his allowance--the only money either he or Wilde had since Wilde had no income at all and neither man could get a job or publish anything, even OUT of homophobic England on the supposedly more liberal continent.  The movie implies Bosie left Wilde at that time in an idle spat, and that is simply not true.  It's a very sad story, and the truth is that Wilde is the one who proved the less loving of the two--"De Profundis" is a hateful diatribe against Bosie that Bosie did not deserve.So if you want a thorough, beautifully researched biography of Alfred Douglas, this is the book.  There are well-chosen period photographs of all the principal characters, and Murray quotes many of Douglas's poems which are often srikingly beautiful.  Admittedly, Douglas later became a pretty sad figure in middle age, but his profound love for and caring treatment of Oscar Wilde as a young man deserves a much better portrait in the popular imagination than the movie "Wilde" paints; in fact, the movie is practically libellous (except that all are long dead, and Douglas cannot defend himself, and that's genuinely tragic).  Murray includes one last photograph of Bosie, shortly before his death at 75--a withered, lonely, little old man--it's quite a shocking contrast for the boy who had been in his youth "the most beautiful man in England."

    Bosie:  Bio
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2009*

The author does an amazing job of creating a picture of Lord Alfred Douglas.  I have always thought of Bosie as a secondary character in the Wilde saga...Douglas Murray puts Bosie center stage and develops an understanding of the person from his youth to his death.  This is one of those books you read and then feel the main character is someone you have known forever.  Extremely well done.

    Fascinating Man, Awesome Poet, Fave of Oscar
  

*by P***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018*

I'm an Oscar Wilde afficionado. I am fascinated with him and his times. Bosie was his great male love and OMG did they ever get in trouble. In the hypocritical Victorian times they couldn't get away with being honest lovers. No, Oscar had to go jail, while half the crown was comprised of landed males shtupping other males. Tally ho.What's just amazing about Bosie though, and this book, is that Boze stepped out of the mire and quested for meaning in life. He went far and wide, tried out heterosexuality and really, was quite the unsung poet. Check it out. He was  a GREAT poet. He had to have some genius between those very pretty ears. I admire Oscar and Bosie.
