In Cynara's Shadow

Collected Essays on Ernest Dowson
BuchGebunden
288 Seiten
Englisch
Peter Langerschienen am15.04.2019
In the 120 years since the publication of his final poetry collection, Decorations: In Verse and Prose (1899), Ernest Dowson has become something of a Decadent legend, much anthologized and referenced in almost every study of English Decadent literature, but still is considered a minor figure of the fin de siècle. He is, in fact, an important intermediary between late nineteenth-century Decadence and literary Modernism. This first collection of critical essays devoted solely to Dowson draws him out of the shadows and acknowledges his talent and legacy. The essays in this volume by established and emergent Dowson scholars offer new perspectives on some of the most noteworthy aspects of Dowson's oeuvre, including Catholicism and Paganism, desire and sexuality, space and place, his relationships with Decadent contemporaries including Paul Verlaine and Aubrey Beardsley, and his poetic resonance in twentieth-century literature and music.mehr

Kritik
«Alice Condé and Jessica Gossling's edited collection of essays on the fin-de-siècle English poet Ernest Dowson, an iconic decadent figure whose significance is more assumed than established, is a valuable addition to contemporary reconsiderations of decadence in all its manifestations - as literary movement, as cultural sensibility, and as social orientation.» (David Weir, Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature, Cooper Union)mehr
