The Picture of Dorian Gray takes us to London at the end of the nineteenth century. A city underestimated by its inhabitants, who see Paris as the most prodigious city.
The book tells us the story of Dorian Gray, a young man whose portrait was painted by the artist Basil Hallward, a man that was amazed with his beauty the first moment he saw him. A close friend of the painter was also astonished with the young Dorian and included him in his social group. That picture painted by Hallward would turn out to be very special, by getting older instead of the young man who was the model, bearing all the adversities that Dorian might have expected.
In this book, which is one of the most well-known works of the peerless Oscar Wilde, we are given the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful writing skills and the genial creativity of this writer, and also a great picture of London society sometimes ironic and seldom sarcastic. Besides, we have Lord Henry, a wonderful character that will surely captivate anyone with his amazing theories and his unique sense of humour.

Into the crowded field of biographical reference sources comes a new work from Greenwood, covering women writers who have written the majority of their works since 1945. Some are established authors, while others are still building their reputations. The editors say that the selected poets represent a wide variety of ethnic and racial backgrounds, and come from all parts of the U.S. but offer no further explanation that justifies why some poets were chosen over others. E The book is set up in an A-Z format with each author having a five- to six-page essay. Each essay includes a biography, an analysis of the writer's major works, and a bibliography of works by and about the author. The essays themselves are very readable and would be appropriate for high-school students and general readers who need a good overview of the writer's life and works. Because the essays are relatively short, college students would not have enough information for research papers but would find the articles helpful introductions. Reference works on literary biography abound. The writers are all included in Gale's Contemporary Authors series. Many are also included in Gale's Dictionary of Literary Biography series and Contemporary Literary Criticism series, which give more extensive biographical and analytical information. Approximately two-thirds of the poets can be found in Salem's Critical Survey of Poetry. Libraries that already own Contemporary Authors and other Gale and Salem series might want to pass on this works, but smaller public libraries and high-school school libraries will find it very helpful for students and general readers who want a good overview of contemporary women authors and poets.
