Description
Explore the complex history of the Decadence movement with this comprehensive volume from Cambridge University Press. This book examines the flowering of a mannered literary style that emerged in France during the Second Empire and spread to Britain in the final two decades of the nineteenth century. Addressing the ambiguity of the term and the difficulty of identifying its practitioners, the text provides a deep look into the movement's contours. It covers a wide temporal range, from an obsession with classical cultures to the responses seen during the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s and 1990s. Through various essays, this work expands the formal, geographical, and temporal frameworks used to study Decadence, making it a vital resource for anyone interested in literary reference and criticism.
