Book Synopsis


This glossary is the only work of its kind produced by Decadent and Symbolist writers themselves, and is full of ‘definitions’ as mystifying as the words they claim to define. It offers a scholarly and a humorous examination of linguistic innovation.




Trade Review


“Reliable, pertinent in its comments, this re-edition of Plowert’s Petit Glossaire is also welcome in that it facilitates general access to a relatively rare work. An added advantage is its fine introduction which reaches even non-specialised readers.” (New Zealand Journal of French Studies, Volume 21 No. 1, 2000)
