"The Pickwick Papers" was Dickens`s response to his publisher`s request for a monthly series of sporting sketches. It became the most famous of all pre-Victorian novels. The central characters, Mr Pickwick and Sam Welle are as familiar today as they became on publication, and there are over a hundred other speaking parts. The action is set in the late Georgian period of the writer`s earliest youth, drawing on experience and acute observation ranging from the unreformed election at Eatanswill to the horrors of the debtors` prison. Brilliantly comic, it also exposes social and especially legal abuses, as in the notorious trial of "Bardell v. Pickwick". Dickens`s satire is both topical and timeless.

`The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.` When Dorian Gray has his portrait painted, he is captivated by his own beauty. Tempted by his world-weary, decadent friend Lord Henry Wotton, he wishes to stay forever young, and pledges his very soul to keep his good looks. Set in fin-de-siécle London, the novel traces a path from the studio of painter Basil Hallward to the opium dens of the East End. As Dorian`s slide into crime and cruelty progresses he stays magically youthful, while his beautiful portrait changes, revealing the hideous corruption of moral decay. Ever since its first publication in 1890 Wilde`s only novel has remained the subject of critical controversy. Acclaimed by some as an instructive moral tale,...

With an Introduction and Notes by John M.L. Drew, University of Buckingham.Wilde`s only novel, first published in 1890, is a brilliantly designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and consequence. From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader to believe in `art for art`s sake`, to its sensational conclusion, the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design.Yet Wilde himself underestimated the consequences of his experiment, and its capacity to outrage the Victorian establishment. Its words returned to haunt him in his court appearances in 1895, and he later recalled the `note of doom` which runs like `a purple...
