Abstract: In three of his contemporary novels, Le Roi vierge (1881), Zo’har (1886), and Méphistophéla (1890), Catulle Mendès explores fin-de-siècle society, constructing a chaotic and funereal masquerade in which his characters abandon themselves to the “frenzy of desire” and to acts of transgression.
