1. Boredom and Moral Decay : Oscar Wilde's Criticism of the Baudelairean Dandy in The Picture of Dorian Gray
Kandidat-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/Institutionen för kultur och lärandeSammanfattning : This essay examines the role of ennui in Dorian Gray’s moral decline in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Engelska institutionenSammanfattning : Towards the end of the 19th century Oscar Wilde wrote the four society plays that would become his most famous dramatical works: Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). The plays combined characteristic Wildean witticisms with cunning social criticism of Victorian society, using stereotypical characters such as the dandy, the fallen woman and the “ideal” woman to mock the double moral and strict social expectations of Victorian society.
