Dandies abstain from worldly affairs, and politics in particular. As an enigmatic figure, or a being of great eccentricity, it was the dandy that haunted the literary and cultural imagination of the nineteenth century. In fact, the dandy is often seen as a quintessential nineteenth-century figure. It was surprising, then, when at the beginning of the twenty-first century this figure returned from the past to an unexpected place: the very heart of European politics. Various so-called populist leaders were seen as political dandies. But how could that figure that was once known for its aversion towards politics all of a sudden become the protagonist of a new political paradigm? Or was the dandy perhaps always already part of a political imagination? This study charts the emergence of this political paradigm. From the dandy's first appearance to his latest resurrection, from Charles Baudelaire to Jean-François Lyotard, from dandy-insects to a dandy-Christ, this book follows his various guises and disguises.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9783030081256","publication_date":"20181220","publisher":"Palgrave Macmillan","slug":"political-dandyism-in-literature-and-art","subtitle":"Genealogy of a Paradigm","title":"Political Dandyism in Literature and Art"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"LAN005000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Creative Writing","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}],"hint":[],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"LAN005000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Creative Writing","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Creative Writing","score":1,"slug":"creative-writing"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Creative Writing","Good for readers who enjoy Creative Writing."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Professor Thomas Oliver Beebee","Thomas Oliver Beebee"],"book_id":"9781623563912","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781623563912.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":5.8482,"title":"German Literature As World Literature","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781623563912"},{"authors":["Meghan Vicks"],"book_id":"9781501307218","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781501307218.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T16%3A15%3A58Z","score":5.8182,"title":"Narratives of Nothing in 20th-century Literature","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781501307218"},{"authors":["R.
