 glbtq >> literature >> Decadence
Decadent literature is writing that either describes aspects of a decadent lifestyle or reflects Decadence through the deformation and refinement of style, form, syntax, and language.
In 1876, Paul Bourget (1852-1935) argued that a period of decadence is superior to those epochs concerned with the livelihood of the community because of the "intensity of its geniuses" and its "daring artists."
Théophile Gautier (1811-1872) similarly states that the style of decadence in literature and art reflects a civilization at the ultimate point of maturity as it attempts to communicate the most elusive remnants of its being, even while it pushes itself to neurosis, depravity, and madness.
