Lesbian Decadence By:Nicole G. Albert Published on 2016-02-23 by Columbia University Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) In 1857 the French poet Charles Baudelaire, who was fascinated by lesbianism, created a scandal with Les Fleurs du Mal [The Flowers of Evil]. This collection was originally entitled |The Lesbians| and described women as |femmes damnées,| with |disordered souls| suffering in a hypocritical world. Then twenty years later, lesbians in Paris dared to flaunt themselves in that extraordinarily creative period at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries which became known as the Belle Époque. Lesbian Decadence, now available in English for the first time, provides a new analysis and synthesis of the depiction of lesbianism as a social phenomenon and a symptom of social malaise as well as a fantasy in that most vibrant place and period in history. In this newly translated work, praised by leading critics as |authoritative,| |stunning,| and |a marvel of elegance and erudition,| Nicole G. A...
