The Picture of Dorian Gray by Irish poet, novelist, and playwright Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) both allured and scandalized Victorian audiences with its sensuality. Ultimately, the novella once condemned for its perversions endures as a classic, leaving readers to determine which sins are concealed and which are laid bare in a society where, as Wilde said himself, ''Life holds the mirror up to Art.''
