The papers contain correspondence and research notes related to Hyde's biography of Wilde, originally titled Oscar Wilde in Prison, published as Oscar Wilde: the Aftermath (Methuen, 1963). Correspondents include his publisher Methuen & Co., Wilde's son Vyvyan Holland, the author Rupert Hyde-Davis, the British Home Office regarding access to government records and prisons, and friends and colleagues who wrote to Hyde with opinions of his manuscript and book. Also present are Hyde's annotated carbon typescript and a proof copy of the published book. A note from Hyde, dated May 1964, accompanies the collection and explains the book's change in title.
