review: Editorial Reviews From the Back Cover In, The Picture of Dorian Gray , Oscar Wilde writes of well-to do artist, Basil Hallward, who is inspired to paint a portrait of striking, young Mr. Gray. But this comes at a surprising cost to Gray--suddenly he must contemplate exchanging righteousness for riches, and quickly face the consequences of his actions. About the Author Oscar Wilde (1854-1909) was a fiercely misunderstood, yet brilliantly accomplished 19th century British author, journalist, and resounding personality. Among many things, Oscar Wilde was known for his overall flamboyance, sharp intellectual wit, and firm belief in the philosophical movement of art-for-art's sake. Wilde rose to fame through the success of a culmination of his works resulting in his first and only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. While battling constant and oppressive accusations of homosexuality, Wilde continued producing works of great art despite facing such harsh accusations of criminal erotic behavior. In addition to his work as an author, Wilde scripted the now famous play, The Importance of Being Earnest, which was recognized in literary circles as an indelible success and would carry his reputation through the many future tribulations Wilde faced as an artist.
