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.
