During the next five or six years after his marriage, articles from his pen appeared in several of the leading reviews, notably 'The Portrait of Mr. W. H.' in _Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine_ for July, 1889, and those brilliant essays afterwards incorporated in _Intentions_, in _The Nineteenth Century_ and _The Fortnightly Review_. In 1888 he was the editor of a monthly journal called _The Woman's World_. In July, 1890,_ The Picture of Dorian Gray_ appeared in _Lippincott's Monthly Magazine_. It was the only novel he ever wrote, and was published in book form with seven additional chapters in the following year, and is one of the most remarkable books in the English language. With the production and immediate success of _Lady Windermere's Fan_ early in 1892, he was at once recognised as a dramatist of the first rank. This was followed a year later by _A Woman of No Importance_, and after brief intervals by _An Ideal Husband_ and _The Importance of Being Earnest_[9]. The two latter were being played in London at the time of the author's arrest and trial. Into the melancholy story of his trial it is not proposed to enter here beyond mentioning the fact that he was condemned by the newspapers, and, consequently, by the vast majority of the British public, several weeks before a jury could be found to return a verdict of 'guilty.' On Saturday, May 25th, 1895, he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour, most of which period was passed at Wandsworth and Reading.
