Decadence in the Age of Modernism
Decadence in the Age of Modernism is a collection of essays exploring the complex relationship between decadence and modernism in early 20th-century literature. The book examines how decadent aesthetics, often associated with writers like Oscar Wilde, influenced modernist authors, including Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. Essays analyze the themes of decadence in various works, such as the portrayal of queer identities and the exploration of sexuality. The authors also consider the reception and critique of decadent literature and its enduring impact on subsequent artistic movements. The book uses various authors' works as case studies, examining how decadence both challenged and informed modernism, showing its continued relevance in the contemporary world.
