THE CONFESSIONS OF AUBREY BEARDSLEY
In a stunning fictional tour de force, based on five years of research, Donald S. Olson portrays Aubrey Beardsley's life from infancy to his death at the early age of twenty-five, a victim of tuberculosis.
Written in the first person, in the form of confessional letters to a French priest, Père Coubé, The Confessions of Aubrey Beardsley weaves fictional incidents into the biographical facts of Beardsley's life to present a powerful portrait of a modern artist.
Aubrey Beardsley challenged the hypocrisies of Victorian England and was made to suffer for it.
THE CONFESSIONS OF AUBREY BEARDSLEY brilliantly captures the atmosphere of intense creative upheaval, decadence and despair which infused fin-de-siècle artistic and literary life. It is the richly-imagined story of a man who was impassioned by art and consumed by life.
(Originally published in 1993)
