Focusing on the early prose of Oscar Wilde this project examines through a New Historical lens the discourses that shaped and influenced the discourse of sexuality, which is evident in Wilde's writing. Focusing on The Picture of Dorian Gray I will examine the corrupt influence medical and legal discourses had on some homosexual men living in Victorian England by closely analyzing the three main characters. The argument then examines some of the fairy tales from The Happy Prince and The House of Pomegranates byfocusing on the discourse of Greek love.
