The essays illuminate a range of established, increasingly acknowledged, and lesser-known figures whose contributions to this brief but remarkably intense cultural period warrant close attention. Such figures include the critically neglected Mabel Dearmer, whose stunning illustrations appear in Evelyn Sharp's radical fairy tales for children. Equally noteworthy is the uncompromising short fiction of Ella D'Arcy, who played a pivotal role in editing the most famous journal of the 1890s, the \u003ci\u003eYellow Book\u003c\/i\u003e. The discussion extends to a range of legendary writers, including Max Beerbohm, Oscar Wilde, and W.B. Yeats, whose works are placed in dialogue with authors who gained prominence during this period. Bringing women's writing to the fore, \u003ci\u003eExtraordinary Aesthetes\u003c\/i\u003e rebalances the achievements of artists and writers during the rapidly transforming cultural world of the fin de siecle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919585689758,"sku":"ING-9781487546083","price":156.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487546083.jpg?v=1782813852","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487546083","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
