Very good. The Ballad of Reading Gaol is a poem by Oscar Wilde, written in exile in Berneval-le-Grand. Wilde had been incarcerated in Reading after 'gross indecency with other men' in 1895 and was sentenced to two years hard labour. Arguably, this is Wilde's most successful poem and was his last work before his death in 1900. The first publication of Reading Gaol was in 1898, but this illustrated edition is volume two in the Castle Press Editions of Oscar Wilde's Works.
