Abstract

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.

伦敦雾中的台词:奥斯卡·王尔德、地方与道德沦丧

摘要:本文认为奥斯卡·王尔德的作品利用地理位置模糊了维多利亚时代的道德感。在考察了与王尔德和道德地形观念相关的维多利亚时代的制图实践，并定义了王尔德对现实主义的兴趣和炫耀之后，文章展示了王尔德更具体地放置文本是如何模糊道德界限的，而道德明确的文本只提供了一种模糊的地方感。
