 | Reframing Decadence: C. P. Cavafy''s Imaginary Portraits In Reframing Decadence, Peter Jeffreys shows Cavafy's creative indebtedness to British and French avant-garde aesthetes whose collective impact on his poetry proved to be profound. In the process, Jeffreys offers a critical reappraisal of Cavafy's relation to Victorian aestheticism and French literary decadence. Peter Jeffreys is Associate Professor of English at Suffolk University. He is the editor of The Forster-Cavafy Letters: Friends at a Slight Angle and author of Eastern Questions: Hellenism and Orientalism in the Writings of E. M. Forster and C. P. Cavafy . |
