4 unusual facts about Caspar Wintermans


Caspar Wintermans

His latest book about Douglas is Alfred Douglas: A Poet's Life and his Finest Work, a biography of Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas which sets out to defend Oscar Wilde's beloved Bosie from over a century of false accusations, lies, and misinformation.

The biographical portion of the book is also accompanied by an anthology of Douglas' poetry.

This was published by Valancourt Books, who are due to publish a study by Wintermans on the French novelist and poet Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen, entitled Un scandale belle époque: L'affaire d'Adelsward à travers la presse parisienne

Wintermans presents the case that Alfred Douglas was, contrary to popular belief, a supportive and kind lover who worshipped the playwright - and whose subsequent life was destroyed.
