The Picture of Dorian Gray - Annotated and Illustrated Edition

Discover the uncensored story that changed Victorian literature forever.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, written by Oscar Wilde, is a groundbreaking novel that transformed the Victorian literary landscape. Originally published in 1890, this remarkable work challenged the societal norms of its time and opened the door to new ideas about art, morality, and self-indulgence. The novel's first publication faced severe criticism, deemed as ?vulgar,? ?unclean,? and ?poisonous? by the British press. However, Wilde's daring narrative has endured, making it a classic of English literature.

Unveiling the Uncensored Typescript

For the first time, Wilde's uncensored typescript is presented in this annotated and extensively illustrated edition. This edition seeks to restore the original vision of Wilde, a vision that was curbed by his first editor, J. M. Stoddart, who removed significant material, particularly relating to homosexual content. In response to the critics, Wilde enlarged the novel for its 1891 edition, creating a compelling dialogue about the societal constraints of his time.

Key Features:

  • Used Book in Good Condition: This edition is carefully preserved, ensuring that readers can appreciate the timeless quality of Wilde's work.
  • Illustrated Edition: Featuring extensive illustrations, this edition enhances the reading experience, bringing the story to life visually.
  • Annotated Text: The annotations provide valuable insights into the historical context and literary significance of the novel.
  • Restoration of Original Content: Readers will discover the bold elements that were initially censored, offering a fresh perspective on Wilde's intentions.
  • Engaging Layout: Designed for easy reading, this edition features a user-friendly format that allows for an immersive literary experience.

This annotated and illustrated edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray is essential for both new readers and long-time fans of Wilde's work. The compelling narrative, combined with the rich visual and textual enhancements, provides a deeper understanding of the themes and ideas that challenge conventional thinking. Experience the literary revolution that Oscar Wilde initiated and witness how it reshaped the Victorian world.

Embrace the opportunity to explore this classic in its most unfiltered form, and gain insight into a story that remains relevant in today?s discussions about art, beauty, and ethics.
