In the last twenty years, Michael Field has emerged as one of the
most fascinating poets of the Victorian era. Through their
collaborative partnership as "Michael Field," Katharine Bradley and
Edith Cooper engaged in the aesthetic and decadent movements of the
fin de siecle, while their poetry and verse drama articulate ideas
associated with the New Woman and boldly express queer and lesbian
desire. Michael Field: Decadent Moderns extends the focus on these
key literary and cultural contexts by emphasizing their continuing
significance within twentieth-century literary modernism. Through a
series of interdisciplinary essays, this book addresses Michael
Field's energetic engagements with a range of topics including
ecology, perfume, tourism, art history, sculpture, formalism,
classics, and book history. In doing so, Michael Field: Decadent
Moderns highlights the modernity, radicalism, and relevance of
their work, both within the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as
well as in our own cultural moment. Contributors: Leire
Barrera-Medrano, Joseph Bristow, Jill R. Ehnenn, Sarah E. Kersh,
Kristin Mahoney, Catherine Maxwell, Alex Murray, Sarah Parker,
Margaret D. Stetz, Kate Thomas, and Ana Parejo Vadillo.
