>The Decadent movement in literature, as typified in the late nineteenth century by such French writers as Baudelaire, Barbey d’Aurevilly, Verlaine, and Huysmans, does indeed begin with an assumption that, like a human being, a nation and its literature have an infancy and a prime—but also a senescence, when its passions are too exhausted, its sophistications too subtle, its dreams too feverish, and its morals too compromised. The modern empires of Europe will go the way of ancient Rome, yes, but what of this marvelous music they will play as they commence to burn?

Read his Durtal trilogy. It's about a man and his road from soulless degenerate Paris to Catholicism. It's a loosely-based auto-biography.

>> No.16971307

it's not a full out condemnation but it is a critique of the hollowness of it. huysmans converted to catholicism a few years after writing it.

Of course it "exists", it's just totally besides the point, and appeal, of the book.

Depending on whether you believe in historical determinations and to the degrees in which it affects one. These authors were more or less being spurned by their climate, readership and local intelligentsia. And well, the ideas surrounding the rise of the bourgeoisie, increased liberalism and centuries of war, famine and mass death, doesnt make it surprising that nihilism as a movement grew out of the hopeless loss of faith in the idea of 'a historical nation.'
