Abstract:Decadence has been viewed as a precursor to the collapse of societies. Indulgence in pleasure or luxury, decadence is at the nexus between tradition and progress. The concept has been seen as one of the pillars on which modernism was built, but what is its place in a post-modern world? In this book, experts examine the concepts of decadence and decay, from ancient Rome to the present.
