DECADENCE AND ITS DISCONTENTS
It is popularly assumed that decadence, as an artistic movement, died in the 1890s. The reports of its death in English literature, however, are greatly exaggerated. This course will examine the afterlives of decadence and its avatars, aestheticism and camp, in modernism, postmodernism, and beyond.
Prerequisite(s): At least 60% in 1.0 of English 1020-1999 or permission of the Department.
