  • Kant's Aesthetics and Wilde Form

    Open AccessJonathan LoesbergARTICLEVictoriographies2011References: 1

    Although Wilde was convicted of Gross Indecency, not of having written questionable literature, critics frequently take his trial as a trial of his literature and his theories, and, in a sense, they are oddly enough right since, at key moments, the difficult of reading Wilde's writing becomes manifest in the difficulty of reading what occurs in the trials. That reading difficulty results from the alignment between Wilde's aestheticism and the ost…

  • Browning Believing: “A Death in the Desert” and the Status of Belief

    Open AccessJonathan LoesbergARTICLEVictorian Literature and Culture2010References: 3

    Some John, we are told , possibly both the Evangelist and the beloved apostle, but, for reasons we will see, possibly only one, the other, or neither, reanimated so his dying words can be recorded by other early Christians, tries to tell those who will now live with no contact with anyone who had contact with Jesus Christ, how they may live with that absence.

Loesberg then applies these concepts to a discu…

    I N MASCULINE DESIRE: The Sexual Politics of Victorian Aestheticism , his study of the role of male same-sex attraction among Victorian aestheticist writers, Richard Dellamora refers to Elaine Showalter’s claim that Gerard Manley Hopkins was one of a series of writers who tried to reclaim male literary dominance from women writers in the wake of George Eliot’s death in 1880. Dellamora proposes instead what he thinks a more likely source of creati…

  • Cultural Studies, Victorian Studies, and Formalism

    Open AccessJonathan LoesbergARTICLEVictorian Literature and Culture1999Cited by: 4References: 2

    V ICTORIAN STUDIES, in its longstanding resistance to the formalist study of Victorian literature, has to an extent been re-enacting the anxiety of mid-Victorian poets and novelists about being entrapped in a world of art. That anxiety notoriously defined the Victorian resistance to their Romantic forebears (think of Tennyson’s and Arnold’s well-documented, ambiguous attitudes toward Wordsworth and Keats or even Dickens’s satire of Leigh Hunt as …
