Ornament, Fantasy, and Desire in Nineteenth-Century French Literature - Princeton Legacy Library
Rae Beth Gordon
In this examination of the role of ornament in nineteenth-century French literature, Rae Beth Gordon shows that ornament, far from being a simple accessory, raises problems that are at the very heart of aesthetic experience: limits and their transgression, illusion and seduction, pleasure and tension, harmony and confusion, excess and marginality.
