Abstract
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is one of major proponents of Aestheticism in England. This thesis attempts to probe into Oscar Wilde’s second collection of fairy tales— A House of Pomegranates , which is complicated and abstruse in aspects of language, theme and narration, compared with his first collection of fairy tales— The Happy Prince and Other Tales . The author contends that A House of Pomegranates , which is subversive of the fairy tale convention, is brought forward by Wilde’s aesthetic intentions—art is independent of life and immortal, thus, an experiment in aestheticism. The approach of textual analysis and comparison are adopted in this thesis.
