Resumo

This paper looks at some of the manifestations of camp in two very different novels from the 1920s: Ronald Firbank’s Concerning the Eccentricities of Cardinal Pirelli and Ivy ComptonBurnett’s Pastors and Masters. Emphasis is placed on those elements which derive from camp’s detachment, theatricalization and fixation on the surface. Two specific aspects are examined in both novels: their use of dialogue (particularly its discontinuity) and their use of static, tableau-like plots. The final considerations address the relationship between camp and irony as seen in camp’s rejection of moral judgement
