120 Years Later: Uncensored Dorian Gray Finally Published

For such a popular work I'm surpriesed it hasn't come out sooner, and Homoeroticism makes almost any book better. Or at least I assume that's why there's so much Harry Potter Slash Fiction.

It turns out that Wilde's editor, J.M. Stoddart, cut a substantial amount of "objectionable" content (read: homoeroticism) from the book, as well as "a number of things which an innocent woman would make an exception to."

What? Drinking before sundown? Using a soup spoon to add sugar to tea? Oh my!
*Faints*

MOAR:
What? video entertainment mechanisms? SLURPING milkshakes? Breathing BETWEEN 9 am and 5 pm?
24 hour clock system? different time zones? Children going to school? women working? children not working? girls going to school?
GASP! people from another country making money in our country....BUT NOT SLAVES! oh my......*faints*

Well, the edition I read last year had a ton of implied homoeroticism. Not sure how explicit the original version was, might check it out.

"It turns out that Wilde's editor, J.M. Stoddart, cut a substantial amount of "objectionable" content (read: homoeroticism)"

I take it they must be literally going down on one another then in this uncensored edition. I'm reading it now and I still can't work out just how much they like each other.

Because obscene material makes a book better.
If i'd have been boring enough to have read the censored version, i'd have no reason at all to read the uncensored version if all it adds is a little gay porn.

Duh, "obscene" (wouldn't really describe sex as obscene, personally) material makes everything better. I suppose people learning how to take a joke normally makes things better too.

Make me wonder what might be considered non-taboo in another 120 yrs.

Or do I really want to know. :/

I would hope that how your comment reads is not how you intended it to read.

We still got a good chunk of Victorian values yet. There were centuries in Medieval Europe where men wore thigh-length skirts and women went topless. But another hundred-twenty? Get your Kamasutra for Kids out. Or else a burqa.

Two words..

Hell yeah!

Take that late Victorian English sensibility!
