“…Pero si fue París la urbe que inauguró y fecundó esta nueva sensibilidad artística, Londres se sumaría a ella en la última década del siglo XIX, aunque William Beckford ya hubiese anticipado rasgos muy similares a finales del XVIII. Inspirados en la fórmula del "art pour l'art", florecieron nuevos modos de expresión artística, capitaneados por Oscar Wilde -y seguidos muy de cerca por Max Beerbohm y Aubrey Beardsley-, que desafiaron las convenciones del gusto y la moral victorianas, y que tendrían su más perfecto colofón a principios del siglo XX en el siempre desmesurado Aleister Crowley…”

“…Once you've read this book, you're only limited by your imagination. …”
