	Ernest Dowson and the strategies of decadent desire Criticism - Find Articles
		Dowson's poetry, so carefully grounded in literature, philosophy, dialogues and commentary on other poets and writers, is often limited by relating it to a life constructed to suit the image of the decadent.
		If Dowson and Herrick had wooed the same mistress, there would be little doubt of her choice."(5) In other words, Dowson is blamed for not being a Romantic or a Metaphysical, for writing poems of love that would not convince a beloved to succumb to him, that cannot fulfill realistic, extra-aesthetic, goals.
		For Dowson, the poetry of unrequited love allows the ennobling expression of emotions while denying the fatuousness of fulfillment: this approach, when applied to other aspects of life and poetry, creates a closed system in which all fulfillment, satisfaction, or achievement, must always be desired but never be achieved.

		Ernest Dowson and Richard Middleton, who both died about the age of thirty, though there were some dozen years between their births, reproduce once more a situation which has been already noted twice in surveying nineteenth-century poetry.
		Both Dowson and Middleton represent the poetry of youth—and of youth which has been brought up from the beginning on the theories of art for art’s sake and enjoyment (literary and other) for enjoyment’s sake.
		There is scarcely a single poem in his scant hundred and sixty pages of largely and loosely printed verse which, when one has read it, one does not want to read again, and which does not leave an echo of poetry, fainter or less faint, in the mind’s ear.

	Memoir of Ernest Downson by Arthur Symons
		Ernest Christopher Dowson was born at The Grove, Belmont Hill, Lee, Kent, on August 2nd, 1867; he died at 26 Sandhurst Gardens, Catford, S.E., on Friday morning, February 23, 1900, and was buried in the Roman Catholic part of the Lewisham Cemetery on February 27.
		Dowson, who enjoyed the real thing so much in Paris, did not, I think, go very often; but his contributions to the first book of the club were at once the most delicate and the most distinguished poems which it contained.
		Dowson was the only poet I ever knew who cared more for his prose than his verse; but he was wrong, and it is not by his prose that he will live, exquisite as that prose was at its best.

	Sensual Bondage and the Voice behind Ernest Dowson's "Extreme Unction"
		Nevertheless, Dowson does not focus on this spiritual ritual as one which is solely concerned with the body, but rather, here unction becomes a form of atonement, a cure of both the spirit and the senses.
		In short, Dowson seems to highlight the division between the body and soul, and in doing so speaks to the distinction between the sensual, or physical, experience found in life and the spiritual awakening or transcendence which occurs at the moment of death.
		Here, Dowson seems to suggest that the main aspect of human nature which pulls us towards such religious transgressions and ultimately to such suffering is that of sensual pleasure, for in the first two stanzas of the poem we see that the primary purpose of the anointing oil is to seal up the senses.

	[minstrels] Poem -- Ernest Dowson
		Dowson, practically an invalid all his life, was reckless with himself and, as disease weakened him more and more, hid himself in miserable surroundings; for almost two years he lived in sordid supper-houses known as "cabmen's shelters." He literally drank himself to death.
		Dowson was a prominent member of the aesthetic movement, a group of English poets and painters of the 1890s formed as a reaction against Victorianism.
		Dowson died obscure in 1900, one of the finest of modern minor poets.

		Dowson's "roses," his "vine leaves, kisses, and bay," are all phrases whose power have been lost, "gone with the wind," (to use his own descriptive cliche) and he is left to deal with that hiatus between what they once meant and what they mean now.

	Review of Madder Music, Stronger Wine
		In this new biography of Dowson, the first to be written in some 50 years, Jad Adams presents a rawly honest account of Dowson's self-destructive life that avoids the romanticized adulation often found in previous biographies of the poet.
		Adams looks unflinchingly at Dowson's darker urges: He was emotionally attracted to prepubescent girls but unable to establish normal relationships with sexually-mature women; he frequented prostitutes for sexual release; he apparently enjoyed provoking drunken fights with toughs in the street for the pleasure of getting beaten.
		Adams believes that "life presented [Dowson] with suffering, and he returned it as beauty." To prove his contention, Adams draws comparisons between the tragic events of Dowson's life and what Adams sees as corresponding lines in his poetry where the pain was rendered into art.

	London Adventure: Review of ERNEST DOWSON: A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION CITY
		We first saw what was in some ways the end of that episode (although it never ended for Dowson) the Bavarian Church where she was married, a little gem of a church, with the added curiosity that Sir Richard Burton was married there in 1861.
		Dowson's 'Against My Lady Burton', his savage attack on her prudish immolation of his manuscripts, is unlikely to have come from that association, and may not even have come from Leonard Smithers' association with the publication of Burton's erotica, but the connections make one think.
		The end of Dowson's life was represented too, as Nick Granger-Taylor poured a libation of absinthe in Ernest's memory at the foot of what was once the Bodega, where Dowson had had his last drink in London before going off to die at Sherard's house in Catford.

	Criticism: Sleepwalking into Modernity: Bourdieu and the Case of Ernest Dowson - Critical Essay
		For in attempting to sublate the thematic negativity of Dowson's text, they are helplessly drawn to rehearse its mere nothingness.(37) Where critical discourse's citational practice is a matter of calquing unanalyzed cliches, it becomes little more than a repeat performance of the pathos of the text.
		Indeed, to make such a claim would be to miss something important in the constitution of his name as the recognizable sign of a sort of failure; that is, in the process of preterition to which I have already alluded.
		Directed by Eliot's "slight shift of rhythm" we come to the cut of the caesura, and the hypermetric barb that follows--"in my fashion"--which also is the source of the text's thematic novelty--the perverse fidelity that impels one to hallucinate the dear lost ideal in the very throes of the love bought to suppress it.

	Criticism: Sleepwalking into Modernity: Bourdieu and the Case of Ernest Dowson - Critical Essay
		According to one common conception, the Sociology of Literature would be like a sort of Christian Socialism of criticism; its mission, to take care of the disfavored of literary production, to give the orphans of literary history a place.
		The former relates, I believe, to a certain structuralism congenital to all critical discourses and, as such, could be quite properly dealt with in terms of deconstruction, thus transhistorically.
		I will, however, concentrate on the latter, while keeping the former on the horizon, and my approach--to Dowson and near-contemporary critical discourses--will thus be to a certain extent historically circumscribed.
