Description
Written in his distinctively dazzling manner Oscar Wildes story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the authors most popular work The tale of Dorian Grays moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890 but though Wilde was attacked for the novels corrupting influence he responded that there is in fact a terrible moral in Dorian Gray Just a few years later the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wildes homosexual liaisons which resulted in his imprisonment Of Dorian Grays relationship to autobiography Wilde noted in a letter Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry what the world thinks me Dorian what I would like to bein other ages perhaps
