ENG 447C - The Decadent 1890s

4 credits
Popularly associated with the writer Oscar Wilde, the Decadent Movement of the 1890s ostensibly promoted the pursuit of pleasure and sensations. But, more than that, it offered fresh perspectives on religion, working-class culture, and biological evolution. We identify Decadence across multiple genres, including poetry, melodrama, and supernatural fiction. Approved for University Studies - Strand J. Prerequisite(s): ENG 301.
