Reviews

Kostas Boyiopoulos's study of three poets of the English Decadence offers a lively, illuminating exploration of the strangely textualised fetishisms at work in their verse. Valuably attentive to grammar and verse-form, this account of Wilde, Symons and Dowson captures the defining irresolutions and paradoxes of Decadent poetry. -- Chris Baldick, Goldsmiths, University of London The Decadent Image is a valuable contribution to Decadence studies and offers students and teachers of late-Victorian poetry a series of forensic readings of some of the best Decadent poetry in the English language. - Jane Desmarais, The Review of English Studies
