This page is devoted to the team that produces www.oscholars.com. Rather than
have an Editorial Advisory Board, we have assembled a group of specialists,
known informally as The Rose Garden, where each member has responsibility for
an area, geographical or thematic, from or on which to report and comment. As Associate Editors of the whole group,
all work to improve and extend coverage of our chosen subject, the world of
the fin de siècle in its different aspects, the lives and works of the makers
of the fin de siècle, and current scholarship on the period and its public
representation in exhibitions and on stage as well as in print. |

Koenraad Claes succeeded Eva Thienpont as our Belgian Editor in September 2008. He writes ‘I am a Research Assistant based at Ghent University, currently writing a PhD dissertation within the framework of the research project “Genesis and Function of the Supplements”, supervised by Prof. Marysa Demoor and Prof. Geert Lernout. I study various kinds of ephemera from the (in)famous Aestheticist/Decadent little magazines of the 1890s, as a starting point to investigate how their editorial policies related to aesthetic ideals prevalent in the late nineteenth century. In particular, I’m focussing on aspirations towards the Total Work of Art in the Nineties avant-garde, and how these are (sometimes ambiguously) fitted into the editorial and commercial strategies of these periodicals.’ @ |

aesthetics in the work of Wilde and Proust. She is currently working on her
Doctoral thesis at the English Department of the University of Turku,
Finland, where her work is supervised by Adjunct Prof. Lydia Kokkola.

contribute to formation of aesthetic reception strategies and how paradoxes
may enhance the reader's aesthetic understanding. In the autumn 2009, Orhanen
moves to King's College London as an Osk. Huttunen Foundation grantee, to

German. She received her Ph.D. in English Philology Cum Laude at the
University of La Rioja in December 2002. Her doctoral dissertation, which was
entitled ‘The Role of the Reader in Oscar Wilde’s Narrative and Dramatic
Works’, constituted a critical approach to Oscar Wilde's creative writings
from the hypothesis that they called upon the active participation of the
reader in the construction of their meaning. It explored the literary
strategies which Wilde employs to impel the reader to participate actively in
the construction of the meaning of his narrative and dramatic works and cast
light upon the social criticism which is derived from them. @ |

Sarah Townley, a co-Editor for THE LATCHKEY, is a doctoral candidate in the School of English at the University of Nottingham. She is hoping to revisit Henry James as a figure who had to negotiate between pure artistry and instrumentality when offering his own account of the possibilities and supremacy of the novel as a form, and also wants to consider the extent to which Virginia Woolf extended into a new age of literary experiment that same mediation between social utility and aesthetic perfectionism which is emblematized by those late-Victorian figures in my project. Her aim is thus to consider how each writer negotiates creativity and intellectual integrity through their awareness of public modes of reception. Overall, her doctoral research will build upon with recent scholarship in the field by rethinking the periodicity and capaciousness of Aestheticism itself. @ |
