- The focus of our analysis is the novel's response to three kinds of breakdown: aesthetic decadence, imperial decline, and aristocratic degeneration
- We draw on contemporary periodicals, paintings, films, and poetry to understand what makes these narratives so good for literary business
- We also think about decline as a shaper of modernism, the relationship between decline and nationalism, and the cultural afterlives of the texts we encounter
