- More about The Picture of Dorian Gray
Wilde's only novel, first published in 1890, is a brilliantly designed puzzle that explores the interrelationships between art, life, and consequence. It challenges the reader to believe in art for art's sake and experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design. However, Wilde underestimated the consequences of his experiment, and its words returned to haunt him in his court appearances in 1895.
Format: Hardback

Wilde's sole novel, originally released in 1890, is a meticulously crafted puzzle designed to tantalize conventional minds with its exploration of the intricate interconnectedness between art, life, and consequence. From its daring Preface, which challenges the reader to believe in art for art's sake, to its sensational conclusion, the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design. However, Wilde himself underestimated the far-reaching consequences of his experiment, and its ability to outrage the Victorian establishment. The words of the novel would haunt him in his court appearances in 1895, and he later recalled the haunting note of doom that runs like a purple thread through its carefully crafted prose.
