In true Faustian tradition\u00a0The Picture of Dorian Gray<\/em>\u00a0tells the tale of a young man who sells his soul to the devil in return for youthful immortality, only to discover that the “devil’s bargain” is no bargain at all. “What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” When Dorian Gray is asked this question he knows the answer. He has learned his lesson the hard way and has destroyed the lives of others into the bargain. The moral is inescapable, making\u00a0The Picture of Dorian Gray<\/em>\u00a0more than merely a classic of Victorian literature. It is a classic of Christian literature also. This edition of Wilde’s novel is edited by Joseph Pearce, author of\u00a0The Unmasking of Oscar Wilde<\/em>, and contains critical essays that look at the work from a tradition-oriented perspective.<\/p>\n

The Ignatius Critical Editions<\/em>\u00a0represent a tradition-oriented alternative to popular textbook series such as the\u00a0Norton Critical Editions<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Oxford World Classics<\/em>, and are designed to concentrate on traditional readings of the Classics of world literature. Whereas many modern critical editions have succumbed to the fads of modernism and post-modernism, this series will concentrate on tradition-oriented criticism of these great works. Edited by acclaimed literary biographer, Joseph Pearce, the\u00a0Ignatius Critical Editions<\/em>\u00a0will ensure that traditional moral readings of the works are given prominence, instead of the feminist, or deconstructionist readings that often proliferate in other series of ‘critical editions’. As such, they represent a genuine extension of consumer-choice, enabling educators, students and lovers of good literature to buy editions of classic literary works without having to ‘buy into’ the ideologies of secular fundamentalism. The series is particularly aimed at tradition-minded literature professors offering them an alternative for their students. The initial list will have about 15 – 20 titles. The goal is to release three books a season, or six in a year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18488,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[684,685],"product_tag":[],"composite_virtual":false,"composite_layout":"","composite_add_to_cart_form_location":"","composite_editable_in_cart":false,"composite_sold_individually_context":"","composite_shop_price_calc":"","composite_components":[],"composite_scenarios":[],"bundled_by":["20137"],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Picture of Dorian Gray - Classical Education Books<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/dorian-gray\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Picture of Dorian Gray - Classical Education Books\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In true Faustian tradition\u00a0The Picture of Dorian Gray\u00a0tells the tale of a young man who sells his soul to the devil in return for youthful immortality, only to discover that the "devil's bargain" is no bargain at all.
