Summary

A groundbreaking exploration of Wilde's use of both Irish folklore and European literary sources in his two collections of fairy tales, showing that both were designed to disturb and engage adult readers. By drawing on Irish-language folklore scholarship not considered by other critics, it provides a more informed and detailed consideration of Wilde's use of Irish folklore in his fairy tales. A personal interview with a descendant of an Irish servant of the Wilde family. Demonstrates the ways in which, despite their eerie and disturbing content, the fairy tales re-affirmed conservative values.
