Green Carnation", Robert Hitchens' witty parody of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, was first published anonymously by Heinemann on September 15, 1894. This novel exactly copied not only Wilde's style, the writer's aesthetic preferences, but even the composition his works.The novel is written in the form of a conversation, where narration and plot play a secondary role.Aphorisms uttered by the characters in the parody novel echo Wilde's brilliant aphorisms, being a kind of continuation and explanation of them.
Reading The Green Carnation creates the impression that Wilde presented to the public a few more new chapters of his novel, which will be included in his next edition. "The Green Carnation" entered the history of literature as a creative criticism of the novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray", as the very "highest form of criticism", about which Oscar Wilde wrote.
