Douglas, Lord Alfred Bruce (1870–1945), poet, and friend of
Wilde, who addressed to him his letter from prison
De Profundis. Douglas translated Wilde's
Salome from French to English (1894), and published several volumes of verse. He also wrote various defensive accounts of his relationship with Wilde, including
Oscar Wilde and Myself (1914) and the less extreme
Oscar Wilde: A Summing Up (1940); his autobiography appeared in 1929.
