Boyd July 1978 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Charley A. Boyd for the Master of Arts (name of student) (degree) in English presented on July 12, 1978 (major) (date) Title: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE THE DECADENT MOVEMENT OF THE 1890'S HAD ON THE WRITING OF SELECTED WORKS BY WILLIAM FAULKNER Abstract approved: This study, by using vocabulary-Comparison, demonstrates that William Faulkner was influenced by the fin de silcle Decadents in writing three of his novels: Absalom, Absalom!, Sanctuary, and The Sound and the Fury. Karl Beckson, in the preface to his anthology Aesthetes and Decadents of the 1890's, mentions that modern critics need to take a new look at the Decadent Movement if they wish fully to understand the roots of modern literature. One of the major modern American novelists is William Faulkner. He, like the Decadents, presents studies of a society in decay. In Absalom, Absalom!, he describes a scene as he believes Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley might portray it. He spe cifically mentions both their names. -

DECADENCE and MODERNIST INNOVATION by GABRIEL
“THE END AT THE BEGINNING”: DECADENCE AND MODERNIST INNOVATION by GABRIEL ALEXANDER LOVATT (Under the Direction of Jed Rasula) ABSTRACT Over the past thirty years, scholarship on the connections between Decadence and modernism has expanded into its own field of inquiry. Despite the publication of cultural studies addressing the international scope of Decadence and theoretical reconsiderations of its aesthetic function, there remains comparatively little work that closely examines the wide-ranging texts of Decadence in relation to these changes. I address this gap by reading the aesthetics of transition in works of Decadence that have been either largely overlooked, like the sensationalist “Keynote Series,” or writing that need to be reconsidered in the context of a modernist vanguard, such as the poetry of Ernest Dowson and Lionel Johnson. I examine how the productive disruptions of Decadence exhibit an aesthetic commitment to destruction that precedes twentieth-century modernism’s obsession with discontinuity. The complex issues that surround Decadence―the slippery aesthetics, the unstable relationship it establishes between cognition, the body, and the manifest artwork―represents the advent of a century of radical works that challenge discrete notions of being, interacting, perceiving and creating. INDEX WORDS: Decadence, Modernism, Avant-garde, Lionel Johnson, Aubrey Beardsley, Aesthetics, Aestheticism, Ernest Dowson, Arthur Machen, M.P. Shiel, Arthur Symons, Surrealism, Vorticism, Futurism, Dada, Expressionism. “THE END AT THE BEGINNING”: -
The Language of Enchantment
The Language of Enchantment: Childhood and Fairytale in the Music of Maurice Ravel Emily Alison Kilpatrick Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Elder Conservatorium of Music Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences The University of Adelaide April 2008 Introduction Prologue When Claude Moreau unlocks the doors of the Musée Maurice Ravel, she often calls out ‘Salut, petit Maurice!’. If you spend your working day in someone else’s house – sweep their floors, browse through their library, play their piano and scrub paint stains off their bathroom basin – you do begin to feel that you know them quite well. And sometimes you talk to them. Even if they’ve been dead since 1937. Le Belvédère, in which Ravel lived from 1921 until his death, does recall its owner with an immediacy that can be startling. The imprint of his personality is quickly discernible in the precisely arranged furnishings and objects that fill its small, oddly- shaped rooms. It is easy to imagine how Ravel used the space and how he moved about the house, because its construction and organisation compel the visitor into similar patterns of movement and interaction. There is a balcony perfectly shaped for sitting outside and talking, a balcony rail just the right height for leaning on and contemplating the view of the village and surrounding countryside. There is a flight of stairs so tiny that only a very small person could negotiate them in comfort. There is a separate, shadowy music room, placed at the end of the house, where one can move easily between desk and piano, and where the dark blue and black walls and small window contrast with the open, light-filled living spaces. -

ISBN 2-262-00459-5 PRÉFACE A LA NOUVELLE ÉDITION Déjà, de son vivant, tout avait été dit sur Montesquiou, même du bien. Il n'était pas mort, mais démodé, presque oublié, qu'il ressuscitait avant l'heure sous le masque du baron de Charlus. Intrigué d'abord, puis, au fur et à mesure qu'il avançait dans sa lecture, humilié, révolté de cette atroce caricature, Montesquiou s'en était haute- ment indigné, mais ses protestations avaient paru étranges et l'on s'étonnait alors qu'il refusât cette gloire, si vaine- ment cherchée par des ouvrages moins faits pour assu- rer sa survie que pour l'enterrer sous leur poids. -

E L Y S I U M B O O
E L Y S I U M B O O K S Spring 2014 1. ALIBERT, François-Paul. Le Supplice d'une Queue. Francois-Paul Alibert (1873-1953), largely un- known today, was a close friend and correspondent of Andre Gide for nearly forty years. Gide encour- aged him to publish his gay novel, Le Supplice d'une Queue, and in 1931 he sent the manuscript to the publisher of clandestine literature René Bonnel, who published the book anonymously in an edition of only 95 copies. It was, however, not until 1945 that Alibert acknowledged authorship of the book. Despite its great merit, the book was largely ignored due to its limited distribution until relatively recently. This is the original 252 page holograph manuscript of the fi rst complete draft of the novel, with extensive corrections throughout, which vary from the later published version. The story of the romance between Albert and Armand is considered an erotic masterpiece and has been described as "one of the three or four great novels of desire" (Annie Le Brun). The novel is quite sexually explicit, particularly for its time (... Albert sentit peser contre le sien ce membre énorme, splendide, droit et rond comme une colonne") but also deals with the relationship maturely, without resorting to the customary maudlin ending of the time. It remains a gay classic and was repiblished in 1990 to much acclaim. The manuscript is in very good condition, 125 sheets mounted on tabs, written on both sides (except one sheet), green wrappers, lodged in a custom decorative box. The original edition is noted in Pia @720.
