The author examines the inadequacy of the Romantic demand for an "undivided" subject both in their era as well as our own. Building on the work of Foucault, Derrida, Paul de Man and John Caputo, Mabille explores the influence of Nietzsche's ideas in late 19th and early 20th century English and Irish writing (especially George Bernard Shaw) and the influence of Wilde's Greek aestheticism on the notion of the dandy and the ubermensch. Wilde's conflation of the stage and the street is also discussed at length along with the roles of aphorism, metaphor, irony and "decadence".Aesthetics, Modern19th centuryAesthetics in literatureEthics, Modern19th centuryEthics in literatureAesthetics, ModernAesthetics in literature.Ethics, ModernEthics in literature.111/.850922Mabille Louise1798750MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953240503321The rage of Caliban4466895UNINA
