Robert Baldwin Ross

    Robert Baldwin Ross byl kanadský novinář a umělecký kritik, známý především jako vykonavatel pozůstalosti Oscara Wilda, se kterým ho pojilo celoživotní přátelství. Ve své době otevřeně homosexuální muž, čelil mnoha těžkostem v době, kdy byly homosexuální akty nelegální. Ross významně přispěl k literatuře jako Wildův vykonavatel, kde četl a navrhoval úpravy Wildových textů. Ačkoliv byl jeho literární výstup skromný, publikoval sbírku povídek a recenzí nazvanou Masques and Phases a působil jako umělecký kritik.
