The Decadents Ended Up As Catholics

Nice piece on a flush of new books on the Decadents by Michael Dirda today: The ’90s are having a literary moment.That is, the 1890s. . .

I note in the comments: "What do Frederick Rolfe, Aubrey Beardsley, Lionel Johnson, Alfred Douglas, Oscar Wilde, and Pamela Colman Smith all have in common? They were converts to the Catholic Church."
