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

“…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. This article explores how such a polarised vision reflects contemporary debates about the interior organisation and decoration of churches. …”
