Powieść irlandzkiego pisarza Oscara Wilde’a, Portret Doriana Graya, należy do ścisłego kanonu literatury pięknej. Wydana po raz pierwszy w 1890 roku, w epoce wiktoriańskiej, uważana jest za najwybitniejsze dzieło estetyzmu angielskiego. Oscar Wilde pyta w niej o kwestie nurtujące ówczesną epokę, ale jakże aktualne i dzisiaj, jak czym są sztuka, piękno, młodość i moralność. Portret Doriana jest powieścią fantastyczną, w której zdarzenia wyimaginowane przechodzą do świata rzeczywistego i są pretekstem do podkreślenia atrakcyjności intrygi i pogłębienia wymowy filozoficznej dzieła. Powieść Oscara Wilde’a wywołała w swoim czasie oburzenie i polemikę. Krytycy atakowali zwłaszcza postać głównego bohatera, Lorda Henry’ego – uosobienie hedonistycznego dandysa, wyznawcy dekadenckich obyczajów i wyrafinowanych przyjemności – często utożsamianego z samym autorem.Portret Doriana Graya stał się przedmiotem wielu adaptacji teatralnych i ekranizacji filmowych.Lektura dla szkół średnich
