- Summary:
- "Decadent Plays is a selection of some of the most intriguing and challenging examples of Decadent drama, from the late 19th century; witty satire, political drama, transgressive social commentary, mystical meditation, which for many years were banned from being staged in public. International in scope and eclectic in content, this edited anthology is an authoritative and accessible introduction to the fast-expanding field of decadent literature"-- Provided by publisher.
