Robert Baldwin Ross (Livres)

Robert Baldwin Ross Livres

Robert Baldwin Ross était un journaliste et critique d'art canadien, surtout connu comme exécuteur testamentaire de la succession d'Oscar Wilde, avec qui il partageait une amitié de longue date. Son homosexualité déclarée à une époque où les actes homosexuels étaient illégaux lui a valu de nombreuses épreuves. Ross a apporté des contributions significatives à la littérature en tant qu'exécuteur testamentaire de Wilde, lisant et suggérant souvent des améliorations aux textes de Wilde. Bien que sa propre production littéraire fût modeste, il est l'auteur d'un recueil de nouvelles et de critiques intitulé Masques and Phases et a également travaillé comme critique d'art.
