This book explores the origins of Baudelaire's thinking on decadence. It associates the poet’s heterodoxy with another dimension of nineteenth century reflection on decadence: Nietzsche considers Baudelaire to be the literary alter ego of Wagner, whose work represents the convergence of modernity and decadence.
