"The Pongo Papers" are light-hearted social criticism in the form of a fictional paper war between the "Belgian Hare" (a pen name of Douglas) and the pompous "Professor Pongo". "The Duke of Berwick" concerns a highly moral nobleman based on a minor character in The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Started by Sandys Wason in May of 1892, and edited by Lord Alfred Douglas from December of that year to its last number in June, 1893, it has a distinctly Decadent flavor. Distinguished contributors include Oscar Wilde, Max Beerbohm, Lionel Johnson, and John Addington Symonds.
