At the end of the nineteenth century, the declining years of the Victorian era saw the outpouring of a creative freedom that rebelled against the morality of the preceding generation. Writers, artists, and critics challenged the boundaries of given understandings of sexuality, technology, and art. Known as “decadents” or “aesthetes,” many of these creative thinkers of the last two decades of the Victorian era explored homosexuality, scientific understandings of the human body, Empire and the detective form, and Gothic doublings of the self and Other. This course investigates the literary, artistic, and cultural climate that constitute “turn-of-the century” England, and examines the worlds of art, publishing, law, and literature that defined this time period.
