Beskrivning

Barbara Spackman here examines the ways in which decadent writers adopted the language of physiological illness and alteration as a figure for psychic otherness. By means of an ideological and rhetorical analysis of scientific as well as literary texts, she shows how the rhetoric of sickness provided the male decadent writer with an alibi for the occupation and appropriation of the female body.

Decadent Genealogies is an important book because it will promote further research into the intricate ties between D'Annunzio and the Futurists.- Angela Dalle Vacche (SubStance)
