Paperback. Condition: Good. The Aesthetic and Decadent Movement of the late 19th century spawned the idea of Art for Art's Sake, challenged aesthetic standards and shocked the bourgeosie. From Walter Pater's study, The Renaissance to Salome, the truly decadent collaboration between Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley, Karl Beckson has chosen a full spectrum of works that chronicle the British artistic achievement of the 1890s. In this revised edition of a classic anthology, The Ballad of Reading Gaol has been included in its entirety; the bibliography has been completely updated; Professor Beckson's notes and commentary have been expanded from the first edition published in 1966.
