  An unusual and vastly enjoyable anthology of poetry. Good selection.

  I was not too familiar with the Decadent movement at all but after reading the Book of Jade by David Park Barnitz, I became very interested in reading . Though the majority of the poems in here were not as dark as Barnitz, I still counted many favorites among them, especially Wilde. I definitely need to add Wilde's poetry to my collection. A few favorite authors are Lionel Johnson, Aubrey Beardsley, and Arthur Symons.

  This book effectively defines the tradition of decadent poetry. The poems themselves, by such writers as Oscar Wilde and William Butler Yeats and Aubrey Beardsley, are fascinating (and impeccably edited). The editor's biographies at the book's end are also both remarkably illuminating and also engagingly written. Like many Penguin editions, an excellent value. Highly recommended.
