Oscar Wilde was an Anglo-Irish playwright, novelist, poet, short story writer and Freemason. Born on October 16, 1854 in Dublin, Ireland, he became one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London. With his barbed and clever wit, Wilde quickly rose to become one of the greatest celebrities of his day. His works continue to captivate audiences with their sharp social commentary and entertaining storytelling.

Wilde's talent for writing extended across various genres including plays, novels, poetry and short stories. He was a master at crafting witty dialogue and exploring complex themes through his characters. His works often reflected the society he lived in, shedding light on its flaws and hypocrisies.

Throughout his career, Wilde created a legacy that continues to inspire artists today. His influence can be seen in the works of renowned authors such as Charles Dickens, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Robert Louis Stevenson and many others from diverse backgrounds like Edgar Allan Poe to Franz Kafka.

Writing

Oscar Wilde's alluring novel of decadence and sin was a succès de scandale on publication. It follows Dorian Gray who, enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his depravity. This definitive edition includes a selection of contemporary reviews condemning the novel's immorality.
