description: When The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in 1890, Oscar Wilde was attacked for its "mawkish and nauseous" tone. It is Oscar Wilde's version of the Faust myth, where a fashionable young man sells his soul for eternal youth: His portrait may grow old, but not he. Oscar Wilde has never gone out of fashion. He has recently been portrayed by Stephen Fry, in a film and been the subject of a critically acclaimed Broadway play.The Picture of Dorian Gray was the first Modern Library book published by Boni and Liveright in May 1917. Since then, it has been a staple of the Modern Library hardcover line. It is a natural choice for the new Modern Library Paperback Classic list.This edition includes an Introduction by Quentin Crisp, author of The Naked Civil Servant.
