Fear of the Future: Victorian Childhood's Evolution

The Woman's World: Edited by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde transformed the magazine The Lady’s World, renaming it The Woman’s World, changing it from a frivolous exploration on women’s wearables to a work containing literature and art and focusing on what women thought and felt. Contained in a single volume here, we focus in on the way this magazine construes the roles of children within the ‘woman’s world,’ paying particular attention to the importance of ethical instruction and how to go about it.

Also, it's interesting to tack the work done here by Wilde in comparison to his short story "The Happy Prince" to consider the ways in which the ethics line up.
