Klappentext zu „Broken Homes “
Oscar Wilde lived in an age which prided itself onits moral virtue, especially when it came to the
institution of marriage. The Victorians projected an
image of a happy home free of corruption. However,
Wilde exposed the truth behind this façade, attacking
family life in Victorian society. He presents us with
the reality of marriage in that hypocritical age
which was anything but idyllic.
This book takes a closer look at his works, focusing
on his fairy tales, novel, and plays, and traces the
development of the theme of the broken home in
connection to the larger theme of sin, crime, and
evil. The analysis should help shed light on the
failures that infected Victorian families and on the
emergence of the evil New Woman who served as a
catalyst in the break-down of the home. It should
also be especially useful to fans of Oscar Wilde who
want to explore how his works portray his dive into
the demonic realm.
