  • ADAM and the ANTS Adam and the Ants Were Formed in 1977 in London, England
    ADAM AND THE ANTS Adam and the Ants were formed in 1977 in London, England. They existed in two incarnations. One of which lasted from 1977 until 1982 known as The Ants. This was considered their Punk era. The second incarnation known as Adam and the Ants also featured Adam Ant on vocals, but the rest of the band changed quite frequently. This would mark their shift to new wave/post-punk. They would release ten studio albums and twenty-five singles. Their hits include Stand and Deliver, Antmusic, Antrap, Prince Charming, and Kings of the Wild Frontier. A large part of their identity was the uniform Adam Ant wore on stage that consisted of blue and gold material as well as his sophisticated and dramatic stage presence. Click the band name above. ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN Formed in Liverpool, England in 1978 post-punk/new wave band Echo and the Bunnymen consisted of Ian McCulloch (vocals, guitar), Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass), and Pete de Freitas (drums). They produced thirteen studio albums and thirty singles. Their debut album Crocodiles would make it to the top twenty list in the UK. Some of their hits include Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses, The Cutter, Rescue, Back of Love, and Lips Like Sugar. A very large part of their identity was silohuettes. Their music videos and album covers often included silohuettes of the band. They also have somewhat dark undertones to their music that are conveyed through the design. Click the band name above. THE CLASH Formed in London, England in 1976, The Clash were a punk rock group consisting of Joe Strummer (vocals, guitar), Mick Jones (vocals, guitar), Paul Simonon (bass), and Topper Headon (drums).

  • Morrissey's Art and Persona As a Continuation of Oscar Wilde's Artistic
    Scripta Neophilologica Posnaniensia. Tom XX, strony: 249–261 Wydział Neofilologii, Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2020 DOI 10.14746/snp.2020.20.17 “OSCILLATE WILDLY”: MORRISSEY’S ART AND PERSONA AS A CONTINUATION OF OSCAR WILDE’S ARTISTIC LEGACY KAROLINA ADAMSKICH Abstract. The works of Oscar Wilde form a link between late Victorian and modernist literature. His art and wit have continued to exert a great influence on other artists. The art of Morrissey, a legendary poet and singer, may serve as a case in point. Thus, this paper aims at presenting Morrissey’s works and persona as a continuation of Oscar Wilde’s artistic legacy. The article presents their attitude to life and to the process of creation. In view of that, breaking with traditional moral code, the artists’ fascination with beauty, their defense of humanity and all possible freedoms, as well as earnestness of their works, is depicted as the key to the analysis of their art. Thus, the writers’ rebellion against society and modern life, along with propounding aestheticism, will be investigated in this paper. Key words: Oscar Wilde, Morrissey, aestheticism, modernist literature, indie rock Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in 1854 in Dublin to Lady Jane Wilde and Sir William Wilde. Educated firstly at Portora Royal School in Enniskil- len, he received a scholarship to Trinity College and later on to Oxford. While at Oxford, he studied Classics, which was undoubtedly one of the reasons why he was professing the “doctrine of beauty”. Nevertheless, as Iain Ross (Ross 2013: 21) points out, “[t]he classical texts absorbed constituents of his developing self rather than instruments of academic advancement […]”.
