"description": "LibriVox recording of In Excelsis by Lord Alfred Douglas. Read in English by Rob Marland
In 1924, Lord Alfred Douglas was sued by Winston Churchill after he
alleged that the politician had been part of a Jewish-backed conspiracy
to commit various acts of wartime misconduct. Douglas lost the case and
was jailed for six months. During his time at Wormwood Scrubs, Douglas
wrote a sonnet sequence that he would title In Excelsis (in the
highest), a reversal of the title of the prison letter written by his
former lover, Oscar Wilde (De Profundis - from the depths). Douglas
claims in the preface to the volume that the poems are spiritual in
nature. They also include poorly disguised attacks on Wilde and support
for anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. (Rob Marland)
