During the final decades of the nineteenth century, a common mindset emerged among many intellectualsla dcadence. Many novels and novellas of the period were populated with protagonists who were fragile, refined, selfabsorbed, and preoccupied with a trivially exquisite aesthetic. A Baedeker of Decadence presentsthirtytwo international works of literary decadence written between 1884 and 1927. George C. Schoolfield, a world authority on the decadent novel, offers an entertaining and wideranging commentary on this highly significant literary and cultural phenomenon.Schoolfield tracks down the symptoms of decadence in narrative works written in more than a dozen languages, providing synopses and passages in English translation to give a sense of each authors style and tone. Schoolfield throws new light on the close intellectual kinship of authors from August Strindberg to Bram Stoker to Thomas Mann, and on the ingredients, themes, motifs, and preconceptions that characterized decadent literature.
