Huysmans","description":"\u003cb\u003eA critical biography of a major novelist and art critic from the late nineteenth-century French decadent movement.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e J.-K. Huysmans (1848-1907) is often hailed as a forerunner of modernist letters. While his novel \u003ci\u003eﾀ rebours\u003c\/i\u003e \/ \u003ci\u003eAgainst Nature\u003c\/i\u003e remains infamous for its reclusive protagonist retreating into a realm of artifice and dreams, Huysmans's literary contributions are far-reaching. Ruth Antosh explores Huysmans's life and work, illustrating how both reflect an uneasy era of profound social and artistic change. In this context, Huysmans's correspondence, early fiction, art criticism, and surrealist novel \u003ci\u003eEn rade\u003c\/i\u003e \/ \u003ci\u003eStranded \u003c\/i\u003edemand greater critical attention. Antosh argues that Huysmans's life should be understood as an unwavering quest for spiritual and aesthetic fulfillment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Antosh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789148723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789148725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Ruth Antosh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45265201365247,"sku":"9781789148725","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e08fa0a-841d-49df-8ed5-001cb516619f.jpg?v=1713420443","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/j-k-huysmans-ruth-antosh-9781789148725","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
