Présentation
Oscar Wilde’s only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, shocked and entertained the world, and played an important role not only in his fall from grace but in subsequent social and cultural definitions of what it meant to be a man (or indeed a person) in modern society. This course will examine that novel and its influence on notions of masculinity from the turn of the century through the devastations of the first World War, in the context of various cultural, artistic, and social movements.
