Thesis
Gautier, Wilde, and the visual arts: artistic media and movement
- Alternative title:
- Aestheticism and literary decoration in the nineteenth century
- Abstract:
-

This recognition is usually accompanied by a retrospective appreciation of Gautier’s work in light of the more famous authors who succeeded him and developed some of the precepts of the doctrine, such as Baudelaire.
