Description: Dorian Gray -- decadent archetype, anti-hero of Oscar Wilde's only novel, an underground classic which scandalized society upon its publication in 1890. Dorian Gray, the debauched libertine who retains a veneer of eternal youth during decades of increasingly outlandish vice, depravity and corruption, while his portrait ages and rots in an attic.

The Picture Of Dorian Gray is presented here in its rare original incarnation, the Lippincott edition, with a full appendix containing Wilde's later revisions. Also included is an introduction by Jeremy Reed, detailing the two editions and revising the book's position in the history of subversive underground fiction.

With its outre elements of homosexuality, drug abuse and supernatural horror, Dorian Gray remains Wilde's most extreme creation, whilst also containing many of the mordant epigrams for which he is most renowned. It is a true classic of renegade literature.

The Picture Of Dorian Gray is the latest in the Creation Classics series which also includes Wilde's Salome, Arthur Machen's Great God Pan, and Dead Brides by Edgar Allan Poe.
