Scents and sensibility: perfume in Victorian literary culture
鈥淪mell鈥檚 evocative capacity, its connection to atmosphere and memory, make it a potent means of registering the particularity of a听historical and cultural moment,鈥 writes Catherine Maxwell in the Leverhulme Trust newsletter. Her project will examine perfume鈥檚 role in 19th-century British literary culture and explore perfume-associated notions of imaginative influence and identity. She will concentrate on late Victorian aesthetic and decadent texts where fragrance is most strongly indicated, and note anticipations in works by key Romantic poets and earlier Victorians and in early 19th-century dandy literature. Although primarily literary, the project will provide new information about Victorian tastes in perfume for both personal adornment and the ambient environment. The larger part of the study explores the aesthetic or decadent olfactif 鈥 the individual with a refined sense of smell; the cultivation of scent sensitivity; perfume as a听marker of personal style or dandified bohemian individuality; and the notional scented ambience of writers and literary-cultural schools.
