What is Jaune Studies?

Jaune Studies : is the study of the content, effect, influences on, and influence of the 'Yellow' (Jaune) or decadent literature of the 1890s (predominantly in English, American, and French).

It includes as core texts and authors but is not limited to: Swindburne, Oscar Wilde, The Yellow Book, Robert W. Chambers Anthology "The King In Yellow", Thomas de Castigne's play "Le Roi en Jaune", the works of Poe, Baudelaire, Jarry, and their successors.

It is presently offered as a Degree and Masters degree level course at a small number of select educational establishments.  It should be noted that the Miskatonic University course is paired with Medieval Metaphysics as a specialism.
