Abstract(s)
A presente dissertaĆ§Ć£o, apresentada no Ć¢mbito do Mestrado em Estudos Ingleses e
Americanos, tem como objectivo abordar a representaĆ§Ć£o do amor sacrificial nas colectĆ¢neas de contos de Oscar Wilde, The Happy Prince and Other Tales (1888) e A House of Pomegranates (1892), e articulĆ”-la com a caracterizaĆ§Ć£o genolĆ³gica dos contos, de forma a ponderar o modo como Oscar Wilde usa as convenƧƵes do conto de fadas na construĆ§Ć£o dos seus contos, tendo sempre em conta o duplo enquadramento do autor ā o vitorianismo inglĆŖs e o contexto irlandĆŖs. Esta dissertaĆ§Ć£o consiste em trĆŖs capĆtulos, para alĆ©m da introduĆ§Ć£o e da conclusĆ£o.
O primeiro capĆtulo incide sobre a contextualizaĆ§Ć£o de questƵes teĆ³ricas acerca da definiĆ§Ć£o de fairy tale, enquanto gĆ©nero e forma de arte literĆ”ria. O segundo capĆtulo apresenta uma contextualizaĆ§Ć£o dos contos de Wilde na Ć©poca vitoriana. O terceiro capĆtulo analisa criticamente a representaĆ§Ć£o de amor sacrificial em āThe Happy Princeā, āThe Nightingale and the Roseā, āThe Fisherman and His Soulā e āThe Star-Childā e considera o modo como estes contos utilizam as convenƧƵes dos contos das fadas. Neste estudo sobre um corpus e um tema ainda pouco estudado pela crĆtica literĆ”ria,
apoiar-me-ei no trabalho de autores como Jarlath Killeen (2007), Jack Zipes (1983, 2000, 2012), Donald Haase (2008), Peter Raby (1997), Marina Warner (2014), Elisabeth Harris (2003), Anne Markey (2015), entre outros. Espero assim, trazer uma nova abordagem aos contos de Oscar Wilde em termos temĆ”ticos e genolĆ³gicos.
The present dissertation, presented within the Masters in English and American Studies, aims to address the representation of sacrificial love in Oscar Wilde's collections of fairy tales, The Happy Prince and Other Tales (1888) and A House of Pomegranates (1892); concurrently, it considers these narrativesā genre in order to assess how Oscar Wilde uses the fairy tale conventions in the construction of his tales, taking always in consideration the authorās dual framework - the English Victorianism and the Irish context. This dissertation consists of three chapters, besides the introduction and the conclusion. The first chapter focus on the contextualization of theoretical questions about the definition of fairy tale as a genre and a form of literary art. The second chapter presents a contextualization of Wildeās tales in the Victorian era. The third chapter critically analyses the representation of sacrificial love in āThe Happy Princeā, āThe Nightingale and the Roseā, āThe Fisherman and His Soulā and āThe Star-Childā; and considers the form how they make use of the fairy tale conventions. In this study of a corpus and topic which still has been little studied by literary criticism, I rely on the work of authors such as Jarlath Killeen (2007), Jack Zipes (1983, 2000, 2012), Donald Haase (2008), Peter Raby (1997), Marina Warner (2014), Elisabeth Harris (2003), Anne Markey (2015), among others. I hope to bring a new thematical and genealogical insight into Oscar Wilde tales.
