    The Black Feast

    by Graham Anderson ...
    Series Book 2 - Dedalus Anthologies
    The Decadent Movement which flourished in the 1890s produced some of Europe’s most striking and exotic works of literature.

J.-K. Huysmans ... Read more

Andrew St George in The Independent "An invaluable sampler of spleen, everything from Baudelaire and Rimbaud to Dowson and Flecker. Let's hear ... Read more

    by Charles Baudelaire ...
    Translated by Maurice Stang ...
    Set in a modern, urban Paris, the prose pieces in this volume constitute a further exploration of the terrain Baudelaire had covered in his verse masterpiece, The Flowers of Evil: the city with all its squalor and inequalities, the pressures of time and mortality, and the liberation provided by the sensual delights of intoxication, art and women.
