description: The poetry of John Gray, the carpenter's son from Woolwich who was once thought to be the real-life original of Wilde's Dorian Gray, has been highly praised by Yeats, Geoffrey Grigson, and other authoritative judges. In preparation for the publication of John Gray's collected poems Fr Brocard Sewell, a specialist in the literary history of the 1890s, has written this lively account of the life and work of John Gray and of his friend Andre Raffalovich, novelist, poet, playwright, patron of the arts, and author of the first published account of the trials of Oscar Wilde.
