Produktbeschreibung
The Picture of Dorian Gray is a Gothic and philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Fearing the story was indecent, the magazine's editor deleted roughly five hundred words before publication without Wilde's 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.

Autorenporträt
Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde), est un écrivain britannique d'origine irlandaise, né à Dublin le 16 octobre 1854 et mort à Paris le 30 novembre 1900 à l'âge de 46 ans. En 1895, le marquis de Queenberry, père de lord Alfred Douglas qui est l'amant de Wilde, dénonce publiquement l'homosexualité de Wilde. Wilde lui fait trois procès en diffamation qu'il perd. Il est condamné pour « grave immoralité » à une peine et de deux ans de travaux forcés à la prison de Reading (sud de l'Angleterre). Ruiné, abandonné par tous ceux qui lui faisaient la fête, Wilde écrit alors Ballade de la geôle de Reading (1898). Après avoir purgé sa peine, il quitte le Royaume-Uni et s'exile à Paris. Malgré l'aide matérielle de ses amis (dont André Gide), il meurt en 1900, dans le dénuement le plus total.
