«Alice Condé and Jessica Gossling’s edited collection of essays on the fin-de-siècle English poet Ernest Dowson, an iconic decadent figure whose significance is more assumed than established, is a valuable addition to contemporary reconsiderations of decadence in all its manifestations – as literary movement, as cultural sensibility, and as social orientation.» (David Weir, Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature, Cooper Union)
