Les Déliquescences
poèmes décadents d'Adoré Floupe
tte
“Les Déliquescences: poèmes décadents d'Adoré Floupette” (The Deliquescences Of Adore Floupette. Decadent Poems) is a collection of satirical poems, written under the pseudonym by two little-known poets rejected by the writing society, published in 1885. The book represents a spoof, a slap in the face of the 19th century society drowning in the copycat poems and parlor bohemian life. It satirizes the awkward style of the poets straining after external originality by any means; the introduction contains the picture of the ‘decadents’ circle with their self-adoration and worship for such ‘single genii’ as Bleucotton and Arsenal.
The decadents’ creation is often spoken of with the shade of condemnation. Their art is considered to be the product of real decline in creation, its degeneration and frailty.

So, now you have the idea of what the collection is about. The rest be left to the Francophones.
