The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.

天生漂亮異常的道林格雷因見了畫家霍華德給他畫的真人一樣大的肖像，發現了自己驚人的美，又聽信了亨利爵士的吹噓，開始為自己韶華易逝，美貌難久感到痛苦，表示希望那幅肖像能代替自己承擔歲月和心靈的負擔，而讓自己永遠保持青春貌美。他的這個想入非非的願望後來卻莫名其妙的實現了。他開始揮霍自己的罪惡，最後這幅肖像卻成為了記錄惡行的證據，他因肖像而生也因肖像而死。《道林·格雷的畫像》具有很強的唯美傾向，不但文辭絢麗，意象新穎，有許多帶有王爾德特色的俏皮話，幽默，似非而是之論，矛盾詭辯之辭。雖有時給人堆砌之感，內容卻相當獨特，值得耐心細讀。

該書作者王爾德是英國19世紀末期的著名唯美主義文學的最有影響力的作家，以下是該書的序言。從中可以感受到那為藝術而藝術的強烈的唯美主義。該篇詞藻華麗，是學習英語文章的典範之一。

蘭姆的散文早已成為經典。這經典中都寫了些什麼呢？什麼都寫，涉及人生與社會的各個方面：讀書、論畫、說牌、敘舊、懷古、言情、修傳、拾軼……總之，社會百般無所不談。但其精彩還不在其題材和內容，而在他在這些題材和內容里發掘了賦予了新的意義。他作品有鮮明的個人特色，高度個性化的吐屬中包含了眾多不同的聲音，清淺通俗的表達中伴隨著凝重文雅的情調，親切易解的文句中而兼具著古香古色的氣氛，日常現實的題材中凝聚著傳統與文化的積淀，民俗與歷史的聯想，詩情與畫意的沾潤，因而比一般文人筆下的東西豐富得多，具有了多方面的廣闊與厚度。本文是一件多綵衣，一具百寶箱，一座眾生相的活畫廓和一部最迷人心魂的有趣的散文集。

英國散文家查爾斯·蘭姆（1775—1834）是與蒙田並列的具有世界聲譽的一大家.蘭姆在他的隨筆中使用了一種特殊的文風，那是個性畢露、披肝瀝膽的——讀了他的隨筆，就了解了他的個人經歷、性格和感受。因此，他說過：他的隨筆集，不需要序言來介紹，因為他的每篇隨筆都是自己的序言。他的文章寫得文白交錯、迂迴曲折而又跌宕多姿、妙趣橫生——這是由他那不幸遭遇所形成的性格，以及他那博覽群書所養成的雜學所整個決定的。他的風格像是突破了重重障礙、從大石下彎彎曲曲發芽生長、終於開放的一朵奇花。他的隨．筆寫作，是把個人的不幸升華為美妙的散文作品。他常常板著面孔說笑話。兩剿伊利亞隨筆腫貫串著一種別人無從模仿的幽默感。這種幽默乃是一顆善良的心所發出的含淚微笑。
