- Contents
- The ‘English fin de siècle’ is one of the most fascinating periods in literary history. The ‘Nineties’ – as the period is also called – were intensely characterised by social tensions, achievements in both science and technology and provocative theories of art in general and literature in particular. Since the fin de siècle is no isolated national phenomenon, its literature has to be interpreted against the backdrop of significant international ideas, including ‘naturalism’, (French) symbolism, and decadence. After studying the culture of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and William Morris’s ‘Arts and Crafts Movement’, we will focus on significant fin de siècle texts such as Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his theoretical essays The Critic as Artist and The Decay of Lying, Walter Pater’s Studies in the History of the Renaissance and Arthur Symons’s The Symbolist Movement. We will also read and interpret selected poems of Austin Dobson, Ernest Christopher Dowson and Algernon Swinburne.
