This collection of fifteen essays looks at the theme of decadence
and its recurring manifestations in European literature and
literary criticism from medieval times to the present day. Various
definitions of the term are explored, including the notion of
decadence as physical decay. Some of the essays draw parallels
between modernist and postmodernist notions of decadence.
Similarities are detected between fin de siecle decadence at the
end of the nineteenth century (which reaches its apotheosis in the
character of Eugene Wrayburn in Our Mutual Friend) and depictions
of decadence in our own age as we enter the new millennium.
