Decadent Ecology in British Literature and Art, 1860-1910

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'... a provocative addition to the study of both decadence and ecology.' Elizabeth Helsinger 'I want to underscore in concluding that Denisoff's book is an important work that we will all be living with for many years to come. Its attentiveness to ethics - both late-Victorian and twenty-first century - means it will shape our field. It is a book that makes you think, that you feel obliged to work with, and against. It is no doubt going to generate a great deal of new scholarship, whether that be through its expansion of who is a Decadent, or the bridges it builds with Decadence studies and other fields.' Alex Murray, Studies in Walter Pater and Aestheticism 'Dennis Denisoff's Decadent Ecology in British Literature and Art, 1860-1910: Decay, Desire and the Pagan Revival is an incredibly important book, its style smooth as silk and brilliantly illuminating. But there are ethical strata in Decadent Ecology that lay the groundwork for future scholarship on decadence that makes this jewel of a book a singular achievement ... he offers us a decadent ethics of compassionate, intertwined coexistence that is sorely needed in these painful times.' Julia Skelly, Victorian Studies
