Depuis l'epopee homerique, delaissant Troie pour les arenes et les paroisses de la France profonde, jusqu'a l'electricite, qui n'a de fee que le nom, plutot mauvais genie tournant au cauchemar, il n'est guere de domaine de l'esprit qui echappe a la Decadence et n'en dessine les configurations. Olympes de carton et royautes vieillies, Parnasses vacillants en proie a la baudelairite, corps et sexes atteints, textes fondateurs malmenes, dictionnaires outres pour un langage malade, sont quelques uns des aspects abordes ici. Plus que jamais, Pierrot, l'Homme Blanc, semble presider a ces destinees devoyees: incarnation de l'artiste, mais artiste introuvable, heros de recueils ou de romans en voie de disparition, ramassant, pour finir, les morceaux disjoints d'une Colombine eclatee... Autant de figures composant le paysage de la fin du dix-neuvieme siecle.
