Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume treats conceptions of the fin-de-sièle as they were affected and characterized by the work of Walter Pater, the leading nineteenth-century English art critic after Ruskin, essayist and novelist, and major influence on the temper and style of the 'aesthetic' and 'decadent' movements. Many subjects are explored: Denis Donoghue recreates the sceptical spirit of Pater for our time and Wolfgang Iser with the 'translatability' of Paterian discourse in the current context of interpretation theory.

Some translation is included, and finally,The Modern Elegy from Hardy to Heaney, displays the changing forms of the traditional elegy through the fin-de-sièle to the present.…

Richard Read has found, edited, and introduced Stokes's essay on the artist Pisanello, the first of four essays an the Renaissance Tempio Malatestiano at Rimini. Stokes's complex relationship with Pound at the time of the Cantos is also explored, as Modernists sought to distance themselves from the aesthetic mode in which they had been nurtured. Joseph Farrell examines the relation of the fin-de-siele drama such as Feydeau on Modernist and Absurdist playwrights like Ionesco and Dario Fo, and translates Fo's play Women in the Nude and Bodies in the Post.
