Description

Explore the complex literary world of Oscar Wilde through this scholarly analysis from Routledge. The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde provides the first full-length study dedicated to Wilde's children's literature, specifically focusing on his two major collections: The Happy Prince and Other Stories (1888) and A House of Pomegranates (1891). For years, critics often marginalized these works because their didactic elements seemed to conflict with Wilde's reputation as an amoral aesthete. Author Jarlath Killeen challenges this view by arguing that these stories are not strictly conservative or subversive. Instead, they represent a unique blend of both. This book examines how Wilde's fairy tales function within their own literary traditions, offering new perspectives on how his children's stories contribute to his broader body of work. This is an essential resource for students and scholars of children's literature studies and Victorian era criticism.
