{"product_id":"9781316761878","title":"Landscapes of Decadence: Literature and Place at the Fin de Siècle","description":"The challenges posed by Decadence to Victorian moral conventions - particularly sexual - have been well documented, but this book makes the case for understanding Decadence as a response to the ways in which place was accorded moral value in the period. The book uses landscape as a key trope for exploring Decadent writing's approach to location and identity. Drawing on a wide range of fin-de-siècle literature organised around a series of locations from Naples to New York, Murray argues that Decadent writers developed a form of landscape and place-based writing using a series of stylistic features to challenge the increasing homogenisation of both place and literary culture. Decadence and the literature of the fin de siècle are re-framed as a politically-engaged form of landscape writing. This is an ambitious and richly researched study.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153589616880,"sku":"9781316761878","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316761878_p0.jpg?v=1763707437","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316761878","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
