Description:
- The third volume in the Oxford English Texts edition of the works of Oscar Wilde, the first volume of which was voted academic book of the year by Choice.
- Drawing on manuscripts not previously consulted by scholars, this fully annotated edition includes both the 1890 and 1891 texts.
- Offers a comprehensive commentary on the very broad range of allusions in the story.
This is the first variorum edition of the 1890 and 1891 editions of Oscar Wilde's controversial novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'. Drawing on manuscripts and a typescript, this volume reprints the thirteen-chapter and twenty-chapter versions of Wilde's narrative as separate works, enabling the reader to see the considerable changes that Wilde made to his famous story across a period of eighteen months. This variorum edition contains a comprehensive introduction that provides full bibliographical information about the two editions, as well as a detailed commentary that illuminates the extraordinarily wide range of references that Wilde makes to a broad repertoire of sources. This volume will be the definitive edition of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' for many years to come.
