The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only
published novel by Oscar Wilde, appearing as the lead story
in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine on 20 June 1890, printed as
the July 1890 issue of this magazine. Wilde later revised
this edition, making several alterations, and adding new
chapters; the amended version was published by Ward, Lock,
and Company in April 1891. The story is often mistitled The
Portrait of Dorian Gray.
The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the
subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is
impressed by Dorian's beauty and becomes infatuated with
him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in
his art. Talking in Basil's garden, Dorian meets Lord Henry
Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes enthralled by Lord
Henry's world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry
suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty
and fulfilment of the senses. Realizing that one day his
beauty will fade, Dorian cries out, expressing his desire to
sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would
age rather than himself. Dorian's wish is fulfilled,
plunging him into debauched acts. The portrait serves as a
reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each
sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a
sign of aging.
