Jan Opolsky has primarily been viewed as an undistinguished
hanger-on in the era of Czech literary decadence. Through close
reading and detailed analysis of Opolsky's prose, however, Peter
Butler argues that, far from his reputation as a literary lackey,
Opolsky is a master of sustained narrative irony and an
accomplished writer in his own right. Beyond Decadence evaluates
archival sources and private correspondence between Opolsky and
other literary figures, and includes a classified bibliography of
Opolsky's work. Butler's introduction, meanwhile, offers an
overview of the Czech decadent/symbolist literary and artistic
movements, placing them within a larger European perspective.
Redeeming a literary artist who has been nearly forgotten in the
English-speaking world, Beyond Decadence will be of particular
interest to students of Slavic and European literary history.
