THE CONFINED SELF
THE CONFINED SELF

Summary/Abstract: In the present paper we focus on the search for self and identity formation as reflected in Oscar Wilde’s long letter written in prison, De Profundis, one of the most troubling confessions of the entire nineteenth century literature and art. Initially entitled Epistola: In Carcere et Vinculis, the prose letter reveals Wilde’s own imprisoning outside and inside the self, offering the reader a glimpse at the Wildean identity path.
