The Decadent Republic of Letters: Taste, Politics, and Cosmopolitan Community from Baudelaire to BeardsleyUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 15 oct. 2012 - 240 pages While scholars have long associated the group of nineteenth-century French and English writers and artists known as the decadents with alienation, escapism, and withdrawal from the social and political world, Matthew Potolsky offers an alternative reading of the movement. In The Decadent Republic of Letters, he treats the decadents as fundamentally international, defined by a radically cosmopolitan ideal of literary sociability rather than an inward turn toward private aesthetics and exotic sensation. |
