About the Book

The last decade of the 19th century was a period of experimentation in the arts, when "shocking the bourgeoisie" was as important as challenging existing aesthetic standards. In his introduction to this classic anthology, Karl Beckson traces the development of the Decadent, or Aesthetic Movement.
