The decadents—including Wilde, Baudelaire, Huysmans, Pater, and Verlaine—found in the Catholic Church a peculiar language that gave them a means of artistic and sexual expression. Hanson shows how Catholicism offered both the hysterical symptom and the last hope for paganism amid the dullness of Victorian puritanism and bourgeois materialism.
