 Narkiss
Lorrain led a striking life in which the scandalous was exploited for his chronicles in various magazines.
In the preface to this edition, Jérôme Doucet introduces his friend Jean Lorrain with the following words: 'Jérôme, my good friend, when will we produce a bibliophile book edition together?' Lorrain found the way in which the novels of his time were published ugly, longing for better paper and a more attractive design.
Lorrain's friends suggested to have his story 'Narkiss' published in a bibliophile edition: the deliberately archaic illustrations by Guillonnet exuded the same overstated dreaminess as the story, at least according to Doucet.

 Kinoeye | French horror: Jean Rollin's Fascination (1979)
The plot itself is minimalist: a thief (Jean Marie Lemaire), on the run from fellow gang members, takes refuge in a chateau populated only by two young women—Eva (Brigitte Lahaie) and Elisabeth (Franka Mai).
In line with the conventions of soft-core erotica, the man is seduced and lured to stay for a forthcoming soiree, while the young ladies—themselves indulging in lesbian encounters—turn out to be initiates in a cult of bourgeois women addicted to drinking human blood.
This is the lure of the vampire for blood cultists, as identified in the research of Norrine Dresser.

Claude Lorrain, often called simple Claude, was born Claude Gellée in the Duchy of Lorraine but spent almost all his life in Italy where, after 1633, he was the leading landscapist, working on commissions from popes, cardinals, ambassadors, and kings.
During his first years in Rome, he was an apprentice in the studio of Agostino Tassi, where he worked on large decorations and learned to handle their broad rhythms.
He was also considerably influenced by the Flemish traditions as manifested in the tiny classical landscape paintings of biblical and mythological subjects done by Elsheimer and Bril, both Germans who worked in Rome.

 Under the influence: Literature, drugs, and modernity in France (1870--1914) (Jean Lorrain)
Specifically, it attempts to elucidate the cultural and literary influences working on and through narratives of addiction concerning morphine and ether, two substances with known medical applications whose recreational use increases during the era.
Arising from naturalist and decadent literary trends and informed by contemporary discourses in medicine and science, these texts help complete the picture of the literary and cultural imaginary of the fin de siècle and Belle Epoque.
The latter inform a modern notion of subjectivity apparent not only in the naturalist and decadent fiction of the era, but also in the surrealist endeavors that would inherit from them.

CLAUDE OF LORRAINE, or CLAUDE GELLÉE (1600-1682), French landscape-painter, was born of very poor parents at the village of Chamagne in Lorraine.
At the age of twelve, being left an orphan, he went to live at Freiburg on the Rhine with an elder brother, Jean Gellée, a wood-carver of moderate merit, and under him he designed arabesques and foliage.
Karl Dervent, painter to the duke of Lorraine, kept him as assistant for a year; and he painted at Nancy the architectural subjects on the ceiling of the Carmelite church.

 Renée A. Kingcaid: Neurosis and Narrative
She is well-informed about the scholarship in psychoanalysis, Decadence, and literary semiotics and applies these well as she gives close readings of the metonymic powers of these narratives.
What 'falls away' in this literature, along with 'the conventions of everyday language that keep the signifier safely apart from the troubled pools of the childhood unconscious,' are 'the veils from the eyes of the mind' (8).
Kingcaid is in fact a very perceptive 'close reader,' as the subsequent chapters on Lorrain and Rachilde confirm: the former in particular seems to me very convincing in its charting of the various textual manifestations of the return of the repressed in Masques et fantômes.
