"In this major new book, Vincent Sherry reveals a fresh continuity in literary history.
He traces the idea of decadence back to key events from the failures of the French
Revolution to the cataclysm of the Great War. This powerful work of literary criticism
and literary history encompasses a rich trajectory that begins with an exposition
of the English Romantic poets and ends with a re-evaluation of modernists as varied
as W. B. Yeats, Henry James, Joseph Conrad, Rebecca West, Djuna Barnes, Samuel Beckett
and, centrally, Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot. Sherry's hugely ambitious study will be
essential reading for anyone working in modernist studies and twentieth-century literature
more generally"
