Decadent Poetics has gathered together some of the most important
scholars working in Victorian studies, with the ten essays here
exploring the complex and vexed topic of decadent literature's
formal characteristics. Invigorated by shifts in Victorian studies
over the past ten years, this collection interrogates previously
held assumptions around the nature of decadent form. The term
'poetics' conveys here not just the prosodic, but the
multiplicitous forms of cultural production across the fin de
siecle. From perfume to the post-human, theatre to attenuated
textualities, these essays explore the ways in which the literary
intersects with its others in the period. The range of writers
studied here moves from those who now constitute a decadent canon -
Oscar Wilde, 'Michael Field', Charles Baudelaire, Algernon Charles
Swinburne and Ernest Dowson - to those whose work still inhabits
the scholarly margins: A.E. Housman, Arthur Machen, Hubert
Crackanthorpe and Graham R. Tomson.
