In 1981 the second and longer, version of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray is published by Ward, Lock, and Company. This follows the 1890 novella version of the novel published in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine. This issue expanded the novel from thirteen to twenty chapters. Wilde made edits both on his own account as well as keeping changes made by editors. Wilde added chapters three, five, and fifteen through eighteen, as well as changing the original chapter thirteen into split chapters nineteen and twenty. Some accusations that Wilde made the edits in retaliation to criticism were denied by Wilde during his trial.
