It examines for the first time together poems by three protagonists of the 1890s: Oscar Wilde, Arthur Symons, and Ernest Dowson. It sees their poems as sites where the self sensually collides with or is immersed in their artifice. This is understood through the shift from Aestheticism to Decadence, which is marked by a greater emphasis on heterodox erotic experience. This study examines Wilde's early poetry and its role in triggering this shift. It shows how the idea of an erotic encounter with artifice reaches its apex in Symons, and how in Dowson it ripens into vexed non-encounters. Key Features: The first monograph study to focus exclusively on Decadent poetry -- Gives original attention to Oscar Wilde's poetry which has been relatively neglected -- Makes an explicit distinction between 'Aestheticism' and 'Decadence' -- Includes a Coda which considers how this Decadent poetics transmutes in Modernism."--Jacket. 650 0 $a Decadence (Literary movement) $z England. 650 0 $a English poetry $y 19th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103201 600 10 $a Wilde, Oscar, $d 1854-1900 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Symons, Arthur, $d 1865-1945 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Dowson, Ernest Christopher, $d 1867-1900 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 14 $a Wilde, Oscar $q (Oscar Fingall O'Flahertie Wills), $d 1854-1900. 600 14 $a Symons, Arthur, $d 1865-1945. 600 14 $a Dowson, Ernest $q (Ernest Christopher), $d 1867-1900. 600 17 $a Dowson, Ernest Christopher, $d 1867-1900. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00009677 600 17 $a Symons, Arthur, $d 1865-1945. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00046849 600 17 $a Wilde, Oscar, $d 1854-1900. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00033910 650 7 $a Decadence (Literary movement) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888894 650 7 $a English poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912278 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 648 7 $a 1800 - 1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 830 0 $a Edinburgh critical studies in Victorian culture. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011062709 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180109013305.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=458FAD48F50B11E7A6193F6E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
