Abstract

"What if someone wrote a novel about homosexuality and no body [sic] came?" Ed Cohen writes of oscar wilde's The picture of dorian gray (75). Actually, at the time the book was written, the term "homosexuality" was nonexistent. wilde, himself, became one of the leaders of the movement that defined homosexuality. oscar wilde, one of the most (in)famous homosexuals of the nineteenth century, portrays through the three main characters in dorian gray, the difficulty of coping with the life of secrecy that unavoidably went hand in hand with being a homosexual male in nineteenth century England.
