Abstract

V originále

By way of a close reading of Oscar Wilde's short story 'The Young King', this paper reveals the pederastic playfulness only barely disguised in his House of Pomegranates, a collection of fairy tales that Wilde dubiously claimed had not been written with children as its intended audience, though biographical evidence suggests that he had specifically chosen this genre - traditionally rather innocuous in its English variety - as a vehicle for what can be dubbed 'Paedobapistry'.
