Barnitz, Eric S. Stenbock e Algernon C. Swinburne, tre poeti decadentisti, letti come se fossero poeti contemporanei, forse sconosciuti ma ascoltati e letti per caso, qui presentati per l...

Greve STANISLAUS ERIC STENBOCK [1860-1895], parfymerad och perverterad poet, författare, dandy, drinkare och opiummissbrukare, är den engelska fin de siècle-litteraturens kanske mest mytomspunna person.

Before his untimely death at the age of 36 of cirrhosis of the liver due to his excessive alcoholism and opium addiction, Stenbock managed to publish three slim volumes of poetry, much of which was fixated on suicide, as well as this volume of short stories, Studies of Death.
