Oscar Wilde

In the spring of 1890, Oscar Wilde sent his first novel to Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine. Shocked by its content, the magazine's editor removed traces of the painter Basil Halleward's homosexuality towards Dorian Gray, along with other heterosexual behaviors that were very advanced for the time. Nearly five hundred words disappeared from the text: phrases, entire paragraphs… Wilde, fearful of the reaction from the moralistic Victorian society, further self-censored the book edition of the work, which appeared in 1891, adding more pages to clarify murky aspects and cutting out the homoerotic elements altogether. It was not until 2011 that the typescript of The Picture of Dorian Gray was found as originally conceived by its author, without censorship. Published in English by Harvard University Press, it is now offered for the first time in Spanish, meticulously translated by Victoria León.
