''Emer O''Sullivan has made an indispensable contribution to Wildean literature . Compelling, informative and fascinating'' Stephen Fry Oscar Wilde''s father - scientist, surgeon, archaeologist, writer - was one of the most eminent men of his generation. His mother - poet, journalist, translator - hosted an influential salon at 1 Merrion Square. Together they were one of Victorian Ireland''s most dazzling and enlightened couples. When, in 1864, Sir William Wilde was accused of sexually assaulting a female patient, it sent shock waves through Dublin society. After his death some ten years later, Jane attempted to re-establish the family in London, where Oscar burst irrepressibly upon the scene, only to fall in a trial as public as his father''s. A remarkable and perceptive account, The Fall of the House of Wilde is a major repositioning of our first modern celebrity, a man whose fall from grace marked the end of fin de siècle decadence.

Emer O'Sullivan traces the history of children's literature studies, from the enthusiastic internationalism of the post-war period - which set out from the idea of a world republic of childhood - to modern comparative criticism.
