£12 £12A night of decadent authors and cocktails
Decadent literature in Britain blossomed in the 1890s around figures such as Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley and Arthur Symons. Under the maxim ‘Art for Art’s Sake’ they often defied moral convention and pursued the limits of sensation, wilfully transgressing Victorian respectability along the way.
Come and defy Victorian morality as British Library Publishing Editor Jon Crabb introduces you to the literary Decadents’ major preoccupations of Artifice, Intoxication, Spirituality and Death.
A cocktail inspired by the ‘decadent’ theme is included in the ticket price.
