Monsters under Glass

Monsters Under Glass is a tour de force by Professor Jane Desmarais, editor of Volupté, the interdisciplinary journal of decadence studies. The general reader's unfamiliarity with such influential European fin-de-siecle authors and artists as Rachilde, Lorrain, Huysmans, Montesquiou, Redon, and Beardsley doesn't negate the importance of this book. Kudos to Desmarais for expanding the scholarship of Decadent literature!
