1. ‘The Fisherman and his Soul’ Revalued : A Significant and Singular Fairy Tale in Oscar Wilde’s Work
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Engelska institutionenSammanfattning : The period 1889-1891 has been regarded as crucial in Oscar Wilde’s (1854-1900) career. Having been somewhat unsuccessful as a writer during the 1880s, and turning to journalism to earn a living, Wilde in this period saw the publication of his dialogues which led to his sole novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (hereafter, Dorian), serialised in 1890 before being republished as a novel in 1891.

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).
