Aestheticism and Decadence
Overview
Description
This course surveys the Aesthetic and Decadent movements, the late-nineteenth-century writers and artists who believed that the highest human value lies in art and beauty. The paradox that the sense of “decadence” and cultural decline generated new artistic possibilities will be examined through the period’s many genres and forms (essays, novels, poetry, book arts, paintings, posters, opera, philosophical writing). Authors to be studied include Baudelaire, Swinburne, Pater, Wilde, and Meynell.
