The Picture of Dorian Gray is a Gothic and philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincotts Monthly Magazine. Fearing the story was indecent, the magazines editor deleted roughly five hundred words before publication without Wildes knowledge. Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding public morality. In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press, although he personally made excisions of some of the most controversial material when revising and lengthening the story for book publication the following year.The longer and revised version of The Picture of Dorian Gray published in book form in 1891 featured an aphoristic prefacea defence of the artists rights and of art for arts sakebased in part on his press defences of the novel the previous year. The content, style, and presentation of the preface made it famous in its own right, as a literary and artistic manifesto. In April 1891, the publishing firm of Ward, Lock and Company, who had distributed the shorter, more inflammatory, magazine version in England the previous year, published the revised version of The Picture of Dorian Gray. The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only novel written by Wilde. It exists in several versions: the 1890 magazine edition (in 13 chapters), with important material deleted before publication by the magazines editor, J. M. Stoddart; the "uncensored" version submitted to Lippincotts Monthly Magazine for publication (also in 13 chapters), with all of Wildes original material intact, first published in 2011 by Harvard University Press; and the 1891 book edition (in 20 chapters). As literature of the 19th century, The Picture of Dorian Gray "pivots on a gothic plot device" with strong themes interpreted from Faust. -EXTENDED CONTENTBook IntroductionBook Plot SummaryBook Literary Significance

Apparso nel 1890 e accolto dalla critica vittoriana con scandalo e furiose polemiche, 'Il ritratto di Dorian Gray' costituisce una sorta di manifesto del decadentismo inglese. Il romanzo narra la vicenda del bellissimo Dorian che ottiene di conservare intatte gioventù e avvenenza, nonostante le mille dissolutezze cui si abbandona. Sarà infatti un suo ritratto, tenuto opportunamente nascosto, a invecchiare al suo posto. Libro che è quasi un compendio della 'filosofia' wildiana nella sua ricerca della sensazione intensa e rara, nella negazione di ogni credo o sentimento che il piacere, 'Il ritratto di Dorian Gray' sottolinea con forza la supremazia dell'artista sulle leggi morali e sulle convenzioni sociali. Idee che Wilde praticò e pagò in prima persona, volendo 'vivere la propria vita come un'opera d'arte' e difendendo, attraverso la grazia scherzosa e paradossale del suo inimitabile stile, i valori dell'arte, della cultura, dell'uomo. Con uno scritto di Marguerite Yourcenar.

In the library of a country house, Vivian writes an article about the importance of lying until he is interrupted by Cyril, who tries to tempt him away. Instead the two men are plunged into a discussion about art, nature, literature, and imagination. Set in the form of a witty dialogue between two speakers, this is an in-depth exploration of the relationship between life and art, as well as an examination of the work of such writers as Shakespeare and Balzac.
