Explore the groundbreaking intersection of Aestheticism and sexual parody with “Aestheticism and Sexual Parody 1840–1940” by Dennis Denisoff. This insightful volume, part of the esteemed Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture series, reveals parody not just as satire, but as a powerful tool for sexually marginalized groups to challenge the established order. Denisoff expertly analyzes works by W. S. Gilbert, Vernon Lee, Christopher Isherwood, George Du Maurier, and Max Beerbohm, demonstrating their engagement with canonical figures like Tennyson, Pater, Swinburne, and Oscar Wilde.
