OSCAR WILDE

His best seller The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde,

appearing as the lead story in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine on 20 June

1890, printed as the July 1890 issue of this magazine.[1] The magazine's

editors feared the story was indecent as submitted, so they censored

roughly 500 words, without Wilde's knowledge, before publication. But even

with that, the story was still greeted with outrage by British reviewers, some

of whom suggested that Wilde should be prosecuted on moral grounds,

leading Wilde to defend the novel aggressively in letters to the British press.

Wilde later revised the story for book publication, making substantial

alterations, deleting controversial passages, adding new chapters and

including an aphoristic Preface which has since become famous in its own

right. The amended version was published by Ward, Lock and Company in

April 1891.[2] Some scholars believe that Wilde would today have wanted us

to read the version he originally submitted to Lippincott's.[3]

The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting

by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian's beauty and becomes

infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his

art. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes

enthralled by Lord Henry's world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord

Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and

fulfilment of the senses. Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian

(whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil

has painted would age rather than he. Dorian's wish is fulfilled, and when he

subsequently pursues a life of debauchery, the portrait serves as a reminder

of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a

disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging

Dorian faces his portrait in the 1945

BEN BARNES

His experiences as Dorian Gray

ffff

British actor Ben Barnes is developing a habit that might

endear him to those with a literary bent. “Or I could be

disappointing a lot of people,” he smiles. “That’s the trouble

with adapting work by people’s favourite authors. I have

gone straight from Alan Bennett to C.S. Lewis to Noel

Coward to Oscar Wilde. I seem to be doing them all. Next

I’ll be totally butchering Hamlet!”

He’s joking, of course. Next he’ll be returning to Narnia; the

day we speak the 28-year-old is about to jet off Down

Under to start production on the third chapter in C.S

Lewis’s fantasy saga, The Chronicles of Narnia, although

audiences will get the chance to see him on screen later

this month, when he tackles one of Victorian literature’s

most infamous characters, Dorian Gray.

Adapted from Wilde’s once-controversial novella, The

Picture of Dorian Gray, which tells the story of a beautiful

young man who trades his soul for eternal youth (the

painting ages rather than Gray), the film stands as a rare

cinematic adaptation, Albert Lewin’s black-and-white

offering back in 1945 proving the best-remembered

version. In stark contrast to Lewin’s film, however, the new

incarnation veers away from Wilde’s narrative by focusing

less on the portrait and more on the man himself, hence

the eradication of the picture from the film’s title.

“The book is called The Picture of Dorian Gray and it really

is about the picture and the world that swirls around it, the

society and the things that happen to Dorian more than the

decisions he makes,” explains Barnes, who graduated from

Kingston University with a degree in English and Drama.

“Oliver wanted to get inside Dorian’s head a little bit

more, hence it’s just called Dorian Gray.

“There has been a brilliant film made of it, a sort of a

museum piece version made very classically and it was

heavily applauded but we wanted to get inside Dorian’s

head a little bit more and watch that journey unfold.

That was what we were aiming for and, hopefully,

achieved. I hope people like the film; nearly everybody I

meet says that it’s their favourite book and that I had

better not have made a complete hash of it!”

It’s an incredibly challenging role, which requires

Barnes to add depth and subtlety to the rather scant

original, and yet only the severest critics would suggest

that he had makes a complete hash of it. His co-star

Colin Firth, who plays the capricious Lord Henry

Wotton, has watched a number of stage adaptations

and several filmic versions from early last century, and

he firmly believes that Barnes delivers the best

interpretation that he’s seen.

“Ben is by far the best Dorian that there’s ever been,”

he states. “He has got much more complexity, partly in

what he has been given in the script, but he also has a

very interesting quality. He is clearly very beautiful and

he has also got these very, very dark eyes. The pupils

are about as black as anyone’s I have ever seen.”

In person, Barnes is indeed blessed with fine looks and

rather enigmatic peepers, although today he’s not quite

as chipper as he can be; he only landed back in the UK

the previous day, having just finished a gruelling human

drama in Boston, and tomorrow he’s set to step onto a

Narnia-bound plane. His debut as the eponymous royal

in the second Narnia movie, 2008’s Prince Caspian,

helped the film to rack up over $400 million at the box

office, and he will now reprise the role in the adaptation

of Lewis’s third book in the series, The Voyage of the

Dawntreader.

“There are some big pitched battles in this one, swords and

action,” he reveals when pondering his forthcoming adventure,

“although this film is more about magic, creatures and

discovery. I am looking forward to seeing Caspian a few years

later, as a king, playing a character that isn’t so vulnerable and

fragile this time around. And playing a king, I think that has to

be pretty cool. The king is in charge, for a start, although then

the kids turn up and they kind of piss on his bonfire a bit!

“But I am looking forward to it. After all, as a kid you dream of

wielding swords in a fantasy adventure.” He smiles. “I definitely

didn’t grow up wanting to play a young dad, with a child in a

coma, searching for the answers!” The role of a young dad

searching for the answers comes courtesy of the film he’s just

completed in Boston, which carries the temporary title of

Valediction. “It has a very adult theme and I am playing my own

age for the first time ever,” says Barnes, “a 28-year-old man

with a daughter. It felt like a lot of films that I have loved but also

didn’t feel like anything I have read in a long time. It’s hard to

describe. How would describe The Three Colours Blue or Blue

Velvet or Momento? They are hard to pigeonhole. They are

films about people. It is certainly the most real film I have done,

it’s my second contemporary film, and it just kind of screamed

at me to come and do it.”

His first contemporary film was Bigga Than Ben, an indie

offering released in 2008, not long after he’d appeared in

Matthew Vaughn’s grandiose fairy-tale, Stardust. His

breakthrough, however, came with Prince Caspian and he

followed that with the Noel Coward adaptation Easy Virtue.

“I don’t believe in that kind of pragmatic career ladder stuff,”

says, although he caused some controversy in thespian circles

when he controversially quit The History Boys at the National

Theatre to take the role of Caspian. “I think because of the way

I got involved in Prince Caspian, people think I am a crazy,

ambitious person, but it is not that at all. I just want to work on

this level ” I know how lucky I am to be able to work on small

independent films and big studio productions like Narnia.”

His profile is certainly on the rise, and his natural good looks

and charm have endeared him to a burgeoning legion of female

fans.

BOOK MOVIE

vs I have just recently viewed the movie and was surprised.

While it was fairly accurate up until the last half hour or so,

they took several liberties. Their portrayal of the painting (it's

change over time in juxtaposition of the man) was...less that

preferred. They made it too horror movie-ish, if that makes

sense. The actors did a great job, but there was just

something missing, a sincerity or deepness. I didn't feel like

Dorian didn't develop as he did in the book, and the other

characters had reactions that were less than believable.

What did anyone else think of the movie? I preferred the book

by far.

More than a century

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde was an Irish author whose works include plays, poetry, short stories, fairy tales, essays, and one novel. He is well known for his wit and his use of paradox in the dialogue of his society comedies. Wilde was also a skilled storyteller, and many people who knew him claimed that his written works only scratched the surface of his creativity. In addition to his literary works, the author is famous for the sensational and tragic trial that ended in a two-year sentence to hard labor for homosexual acts.

Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1854. His mother, Jane Francesca Elgee, was an Irish nationalist and writer under the pen name Speranza. His father, Sir William Wilde, was also a writer and a renowned ear and eye surgeon. Oscar had an elder brother, William, and a younger sister, Isola, whose tragic death from fever at the age of ten deeply affected him.

Oscar was an exceptional student, earning scholarships to Trinity college in Dublin and later to Oxford University. In 1878, he graduated with highest honors in his double major of classical moderations and literae humaniores. The writer returned to Dublin briefly after graduation, but left within a month when his sweetheart,

Florence Balcombe, announced her engagement to Bram Stoker. He would remain a resident of London until his self-imposed exile to France in 1897 after the end of his prison sentence.

Wilde published his first book, Poems, in 1881, and the following year, he gave a lecture tour in the United States and Canada. He had made a name for himself while at Oxford as a proponent of aestheticism, or "art for art's sake," a literary and artistic movement that promoted beauty and pleasure above all else, and his lectures expounded on this theme. The tour was extremely popular and extended far beyond its original schedule.

In 1884, Wilde met and married Constance Lloyd. They had two children, Cyril, born in 1885, and Vyvyan, born the following year. Oscar began his first serious homosexual relationship in 1885 with Robert Ross, who would remain a close and loyal friend throughout the author's life. Ross eventually became his literary executor, and his ashes are interred in Wilde's tomb in Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France.

Wilde's only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, appeared in book form in 1891 after being serialized in a magazine. The same year, he met Lord Alfred Douglas, nicknamed Bosie, the subject of his great and fatal passion. Douglas had an immense influence on the author's life, and while Wilde's celebrity grew as a result of his wildly popular society comedies, including Lady Windermere's Fan and The Importance of Being Earnest, his personal life with Bosie became increasingly obsessive and dangerous.

Douglas' father, the Marquess of Queensberry, was outraged by Wilde's relationship with his son and confronted him repeatedly and violently in public and at the author's own home. In 1895, he left a card at Wilde's club on which he had written, "For Oscar Wilde posing as a Somdomite." Wilde sued him for libel, but the trial soon backfired when the writer perjured himself under cross-examination. The trial was dropped, but Queensberry's defense had compiled evidence regarding Wilde's sexual relations with a string of male prostitutes, and he was consequently arrested for "gross indecency" on 6 April 1895.

Jeff, an employee at Molasses Books, a used bookstore in Bushwick,

confirmed to Daily Intelligencer that this actually happened today. A

man came in, purchased two books, and then returned shortly

thereafter. Apparently, the back cover of The Picture of Dorian Gray,

by Oscar Wilde, mentioned that the book had been selected by the

Publishing Triangle as one of the top 100 gay or lesbian novels. The

man told Jeff that Oscar Wilde had been recommended to him, but he

hadn't realized the author was gay. Jeff says he didn't make a big deal

out of the odd exchange. "It wasn’t exactly the time and place for a

discussion," Jeff told us.

DID YOU KNOW?

Benjamin Thomas "Ben" Barnes is an English actor who portrayed Dorian

gray in the film of the same name in 2009.

He was born in London in August 20, 1981

He has appeared in movies like The Big Wedding, Locked in, Killing Bono

and many others.

He portrayed Prince Caspian X The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian nad

the King Caspian X in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn

Treader.

He began his career in musical theatre.

he graduated with honours in 2004.

Wilde's popularity was short-lived, however. In 1894, he became the subject

of a homosexual scandal that led him to withdraw all theater engagements

and declare bankruptcy. Urged by many to flee the country rather than face a

trial in which he would surely be found guilty, Wilde chose instead to remain

in England. Arrested in 1895 and found guilty of "homosexual offenses,"

Wilde was sentenced to two years hard labor and began serving time in

Wandsworth prison.
