What book does Henry give Dorian?

Moreover, in Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), a major corrupting influence on Dorian is “the yellow book” which Lord Henry sends over to amuse him after the suicide of his first love.

Is Dorian Gray in love with Lord Henry?

Men do have relationships with women in the novel—Dorian falls in love with Sibyl and Lord Henry himself is married—but the novel’s heterosexual relationships prove to be rather superficial and short-lived. If the novel is homoerotic, it is also misogynistic.
