Book Synopsis :

Librarian note: An alternative cover for this ISBN can be found here.The history of decadent culture runs from ancient Rome to nineteenth-century Paris, Victorian London, fin de si?cle Vienna, Weimar Berlin, and beyond. The decline of Rome provides the pattern for both aesthetic and social decadence, a pattern that artists and writers in the nineteenth centuryimitated, emulated, parodied, and otherwise manipulated for aesthetic gain. What begins as the moral condemnation of modernity in mid-nineteenth century France on the part of decadent authors such as Charles Baudelaire ends up as the perverse celebration of the pessimism that accompanies imperialdecline. This delight in decline informs the rich canon of decadence that runs from Joris-Karl Huysmans's ? Rebours to Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, Aubrey Beardsley's drawings, Gustav Klimt's paintings, and numerous other works.In this Very Short Introduction, David Weir explores the conflicting attitudes towards modernity
