| Summary |
Sir Harry Wotton introduces young Dorian Gray to Victorian London's society circuit and a decadent world of self indulgence. As Sir Harry's influence over him grows, Dorian sinks further into a cruel, hedonistic existence. Although Dorian remains youthful, his portrait ages, taking on hideous features, reflecting his sinful ways. (Published as a book in 1891). |
