THE LEGEND OF THE DECADENTS.

pp. iii, 126. Small 8vo. 205 mm. Original printed paper wraps, worn and broken, with 1" loss at the spine. Marginal damp stain. The Chapters include: Are the Modern Poets Decadent?; Huysmans the Sphinx; Tragic Story of Adore Floupette; Albert Samain a French Love Poet; Francis Jammes, Primitive. The last two essays were written with Joseph Warren Beach. The end of the 19th century was felt to be a period of degeneration, but also the simultaneous closing and onset of a new era, full of hope for a new beginning. The hallmarks of the fin de siecle that were recognized as prominent in the 1880s and 1890s, included boredom, cynicism, pessimism, and a widespread belief that civilization leads to decadence.
