This wide-ranging anthology showcases the short story as the most attractive genre for British writers who experimented with decadent themes and styles.

From familiar writers such as Ernest Dowson, Arthur Symons and Oscar Wilde to less well known writers such as Charles Ricketts, Victoria Cross and Ella D'Arcy, the 36 stories demonstrate ideas of class, gender, sexuality, and science as well as the gothic, social satire, symbolist fantasy, fairy tale, naturalism/realism, impressionism, erotica, and the scientific romance.
