John Moray Stuart-Young

John Moray Stuart-Young (1881–1939) was an English Uranian poet, memoirist, novelist and merchant trader. Stuart-Young published numerous works, including books of poetry, novels, descriptions of African life and autobiographical works. His poems are closely linked to fin-de-siècle and Uranian themes, being informed by decadence, colonialism, and pederasty.

Stuart-Young's 1905 memoirs focused on his supposed romantic relationship with Oscar Wilde during his adolescence. Stuart-Young presented forged letters by Wilde to support his claim. Wilde's biographers doubt that Stuart-Young ever met Wilde.
