3 The phrase ‘Beardsley period’ was first used by his friend and contemporary Max Beerbohm: see The Works of Max Beerbohm, London: John Lane, 1896, p. 160. It was later used as a title of a book by Osbert Burdett: The Beardsley Period: An Essay in Perspective, London: John Lane, 1925.

4 In one of many well-chosen quotations from other critics, Zatlin notes how one of Beardsley’s drawing was once described as ‘Burne-Jones with an additional unhealthy something’: Zatlin, Linda Gertner, Aubrey Beardsley: A Catalogue Raisonné, Vol 1, New Haven: Yale University Press, p. 235

7 As Harrison notes, it is for this reason that catalogues raisonnés continue the relatively unpopular tradition of biographical readings.
