This essay offers an analysis of the semantic ambiguities inherent in the concept of decadence. In particular, it considers those writers of eighteenth-century England who saw their time not as an era of social and technological progress, but as a century of decline and corruption, especially in the fields of taste, art, literature and landscape.
