A prison memoir by the British author O. Wilde. The abridged edition (1905) edited by R. Ross was given this title (a phrase from the Bible's Psalms), but the complete edition published in 1949 was titled Epistle, in Carcere et Vinculis, indicating that it was written from prison. It is an 80-page letter addressed to Bothy (Sir A. Douglas), his partner in a homosexual affair, while he was incarcerated in Reading Prison. The original was sent by Wilde to his close friend Ross, who donated it to the British Museum. Although it is full of complaints about Douglas, it is also important for its remarkable theory of Hamlet, especially Christology, which was based on his meditations in prison.

イギリスの作家 O.ワイルドの獄中手記。 R.ロス編集の省略本 (1905) にはこの表題 (聖書『詩篇』の句) がつけられたが,1949年出版の完本は『書簡-牢獄と鎖につながれて』 Epistle,in Carcere et Vinculisと題し,獄中からの書簡であることを示している。レディング刑務所に収監されたワイルドが同性愛事件の相手ボシー (A.ダグラス卿) にあてた 80ページの手紙で,原文はワイルドから親友ロスに贈られ,ロスはそれを大英博物館に寄贈した。ダグラスへの恨み言を連ねているが,獄中での瞑想に基づく注目すべきハムレット論,特にキリスト論が重要である。
