This chapter considers Michael Field within the context of nineteenth-century decadence. Drawing on Michael Field’s diaries and poetry, it contextualises their continuing interest in key figures of French decadence, such as Charles Baudelaire, Joris-Karl Huysmans, and Paul Verlaine, alongside the broader vogue for decadence in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century. While Michael Field claimed to deride decadence, an attention to the influence of French decadence in their works illustrates the extent to which they were poetic innovators, responsive to contemporary fashions, and a part of a longer tradition of writers and artists, such as Arthur Symons, Walter Pater, and Aubrey Beardsley, who drew on the fruitful possibilities of decadent concepts in their works.
