"The Dedalus Book of Decadence looks south to sample the essence of fine French decadent writing. It succeeds in delivering a range of writers either searching vigorously for the thrill of a healthy crime or lamenting their impuissance from a sickly stupor." -- Andrew St George in The Independent"An invaluable sampler of spleen, everything from Baudelaire and Rimbaud to Dowson and Flecker. Let's hear it for 'luxe, calme et volupte'." -- Anne Billson in Time Out

Industry Reviews

Essays on the nature of decadence in general and the decadence of the 19th century in particular, and then a selection of poetry and prose - 18 pieces from France and another 18 from England - some good, some very bad and some just plain hilarious. It is a heady mix, and serves as an excellent taster for the whole Dedalus catalogue which also includes two other delicious themed anthologies: The Decadent Cookbook and The Decadent Gardener, edited from the papers of Medlar Lucan and Dorian Gray and both redolent of 1890s sensibility.
