Catholic Church Interiors in Fin-de-Siècle Literature by Claire Masurel-Murray

“…The works of such late-Victorian writers as Lionel Johnson, Ernest Dowson, Theodore Wratislaw, John Oliver Hobbes and Oscar Wilde represent Catholic churches as retreats set apart from the ugliness and mediocrity of Victorian England—religious versions of Des Esseintes’s Fontenay-aux-Roses house in À rebours—filled with incense, organ music, and coloured light filtering through medieval stained-glass windows. In Dowson’s correspondence or in his poem ‘Benedictio Domini’, in Johnson’s ‘Our Lady of France’, in Wratislaw’s ‘Palm Sunday’ and ‘Songs to Elizabeth’, in some of Wilde’s stories, the opposition between inside and outside expresses figuratively the fundamental incompatibility between an ideal of beauty, embodied in the aesthetic experience of the church, and the coarseness of the outside world. …”
