About the book

This is the only novel by Oscar Wilde, the Irish playwright, poet and wit. A shorter version appeared in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine in July 1890, and some reviewers attacked it as immoral. Wilde revised and lengthened it for publication as a book in April 1891, adding new chapters and a Preface of short sayings about art, which answers his critics. This edition is that 1891 text.
