Description: Extraordinary Aesthetes by Joseph Bristow Extraordinary Aesthetes sheds light on English, Irish, and Scottish artists whose careers thrived during the nineteenth century. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Extraordinary Aesthetes sheds light on English, Irish, and Scottish artists whose careers thrived during the nineteenth century.The fin de siecle not only designated the end of the Victorian epoch but also marked a significant turn toward modernism. Extraordinary Aesthetes critically examines literary and visual artists from England, Ireland, and Scotland whose careers in poetry, fiction, and illustration flourished during the concluding years of the nineteenth century.This collection draws special attention to the exceptional contributions that artists, poets, and novelists made to the cultural world of the late 1880s and 1890s. The essays illuminate a range of established, increasingly acknowledged, and lesser-known figures whose contributions to this brief but remarkably intense cultural period warrant close attention. Such figures include the critically neglected Mabel Dearmer, whose stunning illustrations appear in Evelyn Sharps radical fairy tales for children. Equally noteworthy is the uncompromising short fiction of Ella DArcy, who played a pivotal role in editing the most famous journal of the 1890s, the Yellow Book. The discussion extends to a range of legendary writers, including Max Beerbohm, Oscar Wilde, and W.B. Yeats, whose works are placed in dialogue with authors who gained prominence during this period. Bringing womens writing to the fore, Extraordinary Aesthetes rebalances the achievements of artists and writers during the rapidly transforming cultural world of the fin de siecle. Author Biography Joseph Bristow is a distinguished professor of English at the University of California, Los Angeles.
