About This Item
Dedalus Limited, 1992. softcover. Very Good/No . 5x7.75. The Decadent Movement which flourished in the 1890s produced some of Europe's most striking and exotic works of literature. The Decadents, convinced that civilisation was in a state of terminal decline, refused to rebel as the Romantics had, but set forth instead to cultivate the pleasures of calculated perversity and to seek the artificial paradise of drug-induced hallucination.J.-K. Huysmans described Decadence as a "black feast" and The Second Dedalus Book of Decadence offers a veritable banquet, with offerings from the major practitioners in France and England. It completes Brian Stableford seminal two-volume study of the decadent movement. Minor shelf wear to bottom of front cover. Some foxing on page ends.
