Published by Barnes & Noble Signature Editions (Sterling Publishing Co.) in 2012, this first printing hardcover presents Oscar Wilde's only novel in a handsome collector's edition complete with a new introduction, chapter annotations, and a further reading section. The Picture of Dorian Gray was first serialised in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890 and published in revised book form in 1891. The novel follows Dorian Gray, a beautiful young man in fin-de-siècle London whose portrait, painted by the artist Basil Hallward, ages and records his moral corruption in his stead, leaving him free to pursue a life of sensual pleasure and aesthetic excess under the influence of the witty and cynical Lord Henry Wotton. A meditation on beauty, conscience, and the corrupting nature of influence, it remains one of the most widely read works of Victorian fiction and a central text of the Aesthetic movement. A fine, unread copy of an attractive edition. Ships within Canada. International orders welcome through AbeBooks.
