The Decadent: Being the Gospel of Inaction

Zusatztext

This work presents an imaginary discussion about socialism and monarchy in reaction to the decadence of Gilded Age society.Excerpt"THE 3.20 train from Boston slowed up as it drew into a way station, and Malcolm McCann, grim and sullen from his weary ride in the dirt and cinders, the coal-smoke and the f½tid air, the fretting babies and hot, worrying men, that characterise a railway journey in August, hurried out with a grunt of relief."
