When Oscar Wildes The Picture of Dorian Gray was first published in book form in 1891, it represented a substantially altered version of Wildes original novel. Material considered racy for its day had been cut from the text by an editor at Lippincotts Monthly Magazine, where the novel was initially published in serial form in 1890, and then by Wilde, who, working in response to the uproar the novel inspired, had made additional cuts before it was published in book form.
