Lines in the London Fog: Oscar Wilde, Place, and Moral Transgression
Abstract:This article argues that Oscar Wilde's work employs location to blur the Victorian sense of morality. After surveying Victorian mapping practices as they relate to Wilde and ideas of moral topography, and defining Wilde's interest in and flaunting of realism, the article shows how Wilde's more specifically placed texts blur moral boundaries, while morally explicit texts provide only a vague sense of place.
