Examines the poems by three protagonists of the 1890s: Oscar Wilde, Arthur Symons, and Ernest Dowson. This book sees their poems as sites where the self sensually collides with or is immersed in their artifice. It shows how the idea of an erotic encounter with artifice reaches its apex in Symons, and how in Dowson it ripens into non encounters.
