Decadence

This book will appeal to undergraduates, postgraduates, and faculty who work across Victorian Studies and twentieth-century literature. A comprehensive overview of Decadence, it also expands the methodological, geographical, and temporal coordinates of the movement, with a renewed focus on the role played by women writers.

Decadenta, acea inflorire a unui stil literar manierat in Franta in timpul celui de-al doilea imperiu si in ultimele doua decenii ale secolului al XIX-lea in Marea Britanie, detine o fascinatie nesfarsita. Cu toate acestea, ambiguitatea termenului „decadenta” si provocarile de identificare a practicienilor sai ingreuneaza contururile sale.
