This postscript discusses Dickens’s style, informed by contemporary and later debates around stylistic ‘decadence’. Guided by Walter Pater’s treatment of Dickens, and his own theory of aestheticist style, the postscript surveys a number of writers who discussed both Dickens’s style, decadent style and Decadent style during the nineteenth century from the 1830s onwards. The discussion considers questions including the politics of style and Dickensian poetics, and the ways in which Dickens can be read alongside various decadent theories of style emblematized by Charles Baudelaire, Paul Bourget, and Arthur Symons, amongst others.
