The fin de siècle not only designated the end of the Victorian epoch but also marked a significant turn towards 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 Sharp’s radical fairy tales for children. Equally noteworthy is the uncompromising short fiction of Ella D’Arcy, 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 women’s writing to the fore, Extraordinary Aesthetes rebalances the achievements of artists and writers during the rapidly transforming cultural world of the fin de siècle.

This collection of essays explores the life and works of the British poet and author of short stories Charlotte Mew (1869-1928). It represents the first volume dedicated solely to critical engagement with the full range of Mew’s poetry, fiction and essays. Mew moved within a remarkable range of literary and intellectual circles, from The Yellow Book in the 1890s to Bloomsbury’s Poetry Bookshop in the 1910s. As such, her work challenges traditional distinctions between literary periods and sits within the more expansive framework of the long nineteenth century and its legacies. Each chapter contextualises Mew’s oeuvre by examining her experiments with poetic and narrative genres in relation to her wider late Victorian and early modernist intellectual milieu. The volume draws together literary scholars working across the fields of poetry and poetics, decadence, modernism, ecocriticism and queer theory, while illustrating the particular stylistic and thematic complexities of Mew’s writing.

Revisiting the place of Italian Futurism in English literary modernism, this book draws on a range of overlooked historical and archival sources to reassess how English writers engaged with Futurist ideas. It suggests that Futurism offered a compelling response to a cultural tension that had emerged in the late nineteenth century-the growing separation between art and life-and considers how English modernists adapted aspects of Futurist thought in order to navigate and reshape fin-de-siècle cultural discourses. It begins with an analysis of Italian Futurism's transnational affiliations, its position in the European cultural field, and a reassessment of its reception in England, and goes on to re-evaluate three key modernist figures: the Poetry Bookshop proprietor and editor Harold Monro; the Vorticist impresario Wyndham Lewis; and the poet and artist Mina Loy. In doing so, this study not only offers an expanded account of the Futurist movement in England and Anglophone contexts, but also contributes to ongoing efforts to develop a more interconnected and nuanced understanding of early modernist historiography.

Everybody knows, and maybe even loves, a microgenre. Plague romances and mommy memoirs. Nudie-cutie movies, Nazi zombies, and dinosaur erotica. Baby burlesks, Minecraft fiction, grindcore, premature ejaculation poetry...microgenres come in all varieties and turn up in every form of media under the sun, tailor-made for enthusiasts of all walks of life. Coming into use in the last decade or so, the term "microgenre" classifies increasingly niche-marketed worlds in popular music, fiction, television, and the Internet. Netflix has recently highlighted our fascination with the ultra-niche genre with hilariously specific classifications -- “independent supernatural dramedy featuring a strong female lead” – that can sometimes hit a little too close to home. Each contribution in this collection introduces readers to a different microgenre, drawn from a range of historical periods and from a variety of media. The Microgenre presents a previously untreated point of cultural curiosity, revealing the profound truth that humanity's desire to classify is often only matched by the unsustainability of the obscure and hyper-specific. It also affirms, in colorful detail, what most people suspect but have trouble fathoming in an increasingly homogenized and commercial West: that imaginative projects are just that, imaginative, diverse, and sometimes completely and hilariously inexplicable.

An inclusive and detailed view of C. P. Cavafy as a “World poet,” tracing his critical reception, his translation history and his work's multiple interpretations around the globe, from the 1920s to the present. Translated into many languages and in multiple editions, the poetry of C. P. Cavafy has attracted an international audience for nearly a century and, during the last three decades, has been unequivocally recognized as “world literature.” This unprecedented volume clarifies, enriches and problematizes multiple facets of Cavafy's presence in the contemporary global literary sphere, while also drawing attention to its historical background through discussion of largely unknown material from the poet's library, archive and early critical reception. Aside from having a strong global readership, Cavafy's work has been used by poets and artists all over the world as raw material for inspiration and re-translation into new cultural production. Some of his poems have assumed a universal and almost proverbial function in the global public sphere, whereas others have acquired new meanings and pertinence in specific historical, cultural and gender-related contexts, significantly different from their original conception. With essays from 19 scholars and researchers from 6 countries, Cavafy as World Literature offers a collective and multi-dimensional overview of Cavafy's presence and function in world literature.
