About the original book
Oscar Wilde’s 1890s novel begins with a series of witty, provocative statements about art, beauty, and morality before turning to a young man, his portrait, and the social world of Victorian London. The book combines Gothic and supernatural elements with discussions of appearance, influence, and conduct. Its vocabulary is often formal and literary, with references to art and philosophy. The opening uses many short, polished claims, while later passages include more involved dialogue and description.
