Robert Baldick's Life of J.-K. Huysmans has become not just a
standard reference work, to be consulted as regularly as the
writing of the author whose life it chronicles, but a work of
literature in its own right. First published fifty years ago,
Baldick's classic biography presents a compelling narrative of
Huysmans' life and work in all its various phases - from the
Naturalism of the 1870s to the Decadence of the 1880s, and from the
occult vogue of the 1890s to the Catholic Revival of the turn of
the century - and it is written with such impeccable scholarship
that it is still relied on today as regards matters of fact and
detail. For this new edition - the first time the biography has
been reprinted in English -Baldick's notes have been extensively
revised and updated by Brendan King to take account of new
developments and publications in the field of Huysmansian studies.
