About The Picture Of Dorian Gray: The Uncensored Original
The only novel created by the Irish wit, poet, and dramatist, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891) is a classic, his comic masterpieces Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) are equally prominent. Wilde was a spokesman for the late 19th-century Aesthetic movement in England, which advocated art for art’s sake, he is known and celebrated for his openess with sexuality, Wilde is considered an important figure in the struggle to change peoples views of homosexuality in the 19th century. Oscar Wilde: ''A brilliantly clever scholar, who had strangely good taste in art and humanity'' The Picture of Dorian Gray is a story of one beautiful, innocent young man's seduction, moral corruption, and eventual downfall. Dorian's story plays upon the timeless theme of selling one's soul in exchange for earthly pleasures (see other classics like Goethe's Faust or the musical Damn Yankees), and the inevitable disaster that results. Mix in a magical creepy painting and a pinch of eternal youth and you've got the makings for this classic, fabulous story.
