Compare Aestheticism and Sexual Parody 1840–1940 by Dennis Denisoff, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Aestheticism and Sexual Parody adds a new and important dimension to the concept of parody as a combative strategy by which sexually marginalized groups undermine the status quo. From W. S. Gilbert's drama, and Vernon Lee and Christopher Isherwood's prose to George Du Maurier's cartoons and Max Beerbohm's caricatures, Dennis Denisoff explores the interactions of late nineteenth and twentieth century parody and aestheticism with the texts of canonical authors such as Alfred Tennyson, Walter Pater, Algernon Swinburne, and Oscar Wilde. | Aestheticism and Sexual Parody 1840–1940 by Dennis Denisoff, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
