Abstract
- Readers frequently have wondered if Oscar Wilde's fairy tales were intended for adults or for children. Through its analysis of "The Devoted Friend" (1888), this essay describes Wilde's promotion of a moral code consistent with his developing socialist politics to both children and adults in Victorian England.
