Robert Baldwin Ross

    Robert Baldwin Ross fu un giornalista e critico d'arte canadese, noto soprattutto come esecutore testamentario dell'eredità di Oscar Wilde, con cui condivise un'amicizia duratura. La sua omosessualità dichiarata in un'epoca in cui gli atti omosessuali erano illegali gli procurò notevoli difficoltà. Ross diede contributi significativi alla letteratura come esecutore testamentario di Wilde, leggendo e spesso suggerendo miglioramenti ai testi di Wilde. Sebbene la sua produzione letteraria fosse modesta, è autore di una raccolta di racconti e recensioni intitolata Masques and Phases e lavorò anche come critico d'arte.
