When The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in 1890, it was decried as immoral. In revising the text the following year, Wilde included a preface, which serves as a useful explanation of his philosophy of art. The purpose of art, according to this series of epigrams, is to have no purpose. First, we will see the Victorian society and how The Picture of Dorian Gray belongs to fantastic literature. Then, we will study the literary and artistic background and themes of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
