In 2016, I set out to create a digital edition of Oscar Wilde’s fairy tale “The Young Prince,” from the author’s 1891 collection A House of Pomegranates, that might home in on the text’s many allusions to same-sex male desire, reclaiming some of that original, fleshy & inappropriate reputation it had upon its first publication.

This project was created alongside three colleagues who were each interested in different element of the queerness represented in this story. The images above illustrate how and where the project was hosted, a combination of Annotation Studio and WordPress blog (which allowed for the inclusion of images from the text).
