Description
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is a revised Norton Critical Edition that presents both the 1890 Lippincott's and the 1891 book version of the novel. This edition allows readers to compare the two published versions of the controversial novel under the editorial guidance of Wilde scholar Michael Patrick Gillespie.
Readers can gain insight into the sensational reception of the novel when it first appeared, as well as the heated public debate over art and morality that followed its publication. The edition includes "Backgrounds" and "Reviews and Reactions", which feature diverse opinions on these topics, as well as eight contemporary reviews and comments on the novel.
Additionally, "Criticism" includes seven new essays on the novel that reflect key changes in interpretive theory in recent years, offering a range of perspectives on the novel and its author. A Chronology and a Selected Bibliography are also included, providing further context and resources for readers.
