collection)
Please send abstracts for a scholarly collection to be
published by Ibidem Press in their Studies in English
Literatures series. The theme of this volume will be
Decadence and is not confined to the 1890s but is
expected to contain essays upon all periods in English
Literature from Anglo-Saxon to contemporary. Any
essay exploring the philosophical, historical or
aesthetic tendencies of Decadence literarily presented
in Britain are encouraged. Some suggested topics are:
- the literary implications of atrophy; decadence in
formal practice: literary dandyism, euphuism, purple
prose; decadence as illness, as a spur to creativity,
as negative vitality. All theoretical positions are
welcome. Authors must hold PhDs. Essays will be
expected to be maximally 20 pages in length excluding
footnotes. Secondary source material is expected.
Please send 1-2 page abstracts by April 15th to
Dr. Paul Fox at pwreynard_at_yahoo.com
