Focusing on the intersections of nature, paganism, and desire, this study explores decadent literature and art from the 19th and early 20th centuries. It integrates environmental humanities with queer and literary theory, revealing how art, eco-paganism, and scientific ideas influenced the development of modern ecological and evolutionary thought. Through this lens, the book highlights the complex relationships between aesthetic expression and ecological awareness during a transformative period in history.
