Summary

This biography tells the story of the "real" Dorian Gray: a working class boy whose passionate friendship with Oscar Wilde made his name as the reputed model for Wilde's scandalous novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. Noted Wilde scholar Jerusha McCormack traces Gray's life from decadent poet to priest ministering to the slums, exploring his changing relationship with Wilde and with his lifelong companion, Andre Raffalovich. Gray's life provides us with a fascinating insight into finde-siecle literary society and the emerging gay culture of the period.
