The Picture of Dorian Grey: Oscar Wilde – Book

Description

Oscar Wilde’s story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is one of his most popular novels. The tale of Dorian Gray’s moral decline caused controversy when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel’s potentially negative influence, he responded that there is, in fact, “a terrible moral in Dorian Gray.” A short time later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde’s homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment.
