Michael Field in Context
Few authors attract as much fascination as 'Michael Field', the collaborative pseudonym of Katharine Bradley (1846–1914) and Edith Cooper (1862–1913), an aunt and niece living and working together in devoted fellowship. As Michael Field, Bradley and Cooper published over thirty volumes of poetry and verse drama across a career lasting from the 1880s to the 1910s. Here, chapters by thirty-six experts introduce the historical and cultural contexts …
The Long Nineteenth Century, or How the Victorian Avant-Garde Took Over Contemporary Art
Michael Field, Pre-Raphaelite
This article examines the development of Pre-Raphaelitism into decadence by focusing on Michael Field, whose verse play Fair Rosamund was published twice, first in 1884 (by George Bell and Sons) and later in 1897 by the Vale Press of Charles Ricketts. The article focuses on the legend of the ‘Fair Rosamund’ and how it was treated by Pre-Raphaelite poets and painters, both male and female. Positioning the Michael Field poets as Pre-Raphaelites, th…
Decadent women poets
Though the field of decadence is currently being reformulated as a global phenomenon (the result of a major move in literary studies towards World Literature), the rich culture of modern languages present in the work of women writers remains mostly unexplored. This essay uses as case studies poems by Christina Rossetti and Sarojini Naidu. Through a translingual framework, it reflects on the continual mediation of languages present in their work, …
Symbolism at war
This article considers the effect of World War I on Charles Ricketts’ work for the stage as an avant-garde set and costume designer. It looks at his cosmopolitan designs in the context of European symbolism. The first part of the essay focuses on Ricketts’ symbolist manifesto ‘The art of stage decoration’ (1913). The essay then examines his designs for three Shakespeare plays that toured Le Havre in 1918 to entertain the troops. I argue that, in …
This hot–house of decadent chronicle’
This article examines Michael Field's avant-guard poetic dramas post 1895, in particular the Roman Trilogy (The World at Auction, The Race of Leaves, and Julia Domna), to suggest they should be read for their extraordinary poetic experimentation, which precedes, prefigures and is at the heart of modernism's innovations in the genre. It argues that influenced by the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, particularly The Birth of Tragedy, Michael Field tur…
Cosmopolitan Aestheticism
This chapter articulates the cosmopolitan poetics of British Aestheticism and examines in particular the work of the poet A. Mary F. Robinson
Introduction Fin-De-Siècle Renaissance
Professor Goodwin has been most good to me, tells me what books to read, argues my “modernisms” of thought away as much as he can. —A. Mary F. Robinson (1879) The command of words and felicity of phrase are as remarkable as the decorative, yet unconventional, qualities of form and colour, so unusual a merit in the handling of motives chosen from the antique. Throughout, the technique is large and modern. —Graham R. Tomson's review of Amy Levy's A…
