The Picture of Dorian Gray. Plays

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is the only completed novel by Irish writer Oscar Wilde, a landmark work of the symbolist era. The book, which elevates aesthetics to a pedestal, immediately divided readers into two irreconcilable camps upon its first... publication. Some praised the writer's mastery, while others cursed Wilde for immorality and demanded severe punishment for him. And in both camps were people who had recently applauded the author of elegant and witty plays "A Woman of No Importance" and "The Ideal Husband." Undoubtedly, Wilde — a great master of exquisite paradoxes — would have appreciated this duly.
