Book description
This book examines systematically, for the first time, poems by three protagonists of the 1890s: Oscar Wilde, Arthur Symons and Ernest Dowson. It sees their poems as sites where the self sensually collides with or is immersed in their artifice. This study examines Wilde's neglected early poetry and its role in triggering this shift. It shows how the idea of an erotic encounter with artifice reaches its apex in Symons's poetry, and how in Dowson it ripens into vexing non-collisions.
