Jewelled Tortoise
Texts and Translations book series
The ‘Jewelled Tortoise’, named after J. K. Huysmans’s iconic image of Decadent taste in A Rebours (1884), is a series dedicated to Aesthetic and Decadent literature. Its scholarly editions, complete with critical introductions and accompanying materials, aim to make available to students and scholars alike works of literature and criticism which embody the intellectual daring, formal innovation, and cultural diversity of the British and European fin de siècle. The series is particularly committed to republishing works that are out of print, especially short novels, poetry, plays, and collections of essays or short stories. Parent series.
