Abstract
Using a keyword search across two periodical databases, this article explores Paul Verlaine’s reception in Britain during the 1890s. Drawing on work by Bob Nicholson, it argues that digital research can help to transform ‘top-down’ approaches to literary history and change our understanding of movements such as Decadence. Responses to Verlaine as a Decadent poet were more widely distributed than scholars have previously acknowledged, both in social and geographical terms.
