Full Description

Bringing together leading scholars from the fields of Dickens studies and decadence studies, this collection considers the ways in which Dickens's work can be placed into dialogue with various ideas of decadence. It includes chapters dealing with Dickens's treatment of the decadence he saw manifested in mid-Victorian society; his treatment of the themes of decadence and decay in his work, including anticipations of, and unconscious sympathies towards positions which came to define fin-de-siecle Decadence; and the ways in which Decadent writers from the 1880s 1920s responded to Dickens. This book therefore broadens our understanding of the work and the significance of Dickens as a pre-eminent Victorian novelist and also deepens our understanding of the contours of fin-de-siecle Decadence.
