 Writers who embraced the sort of decadence featured in "Le Décadent" include Albert Aurier, Rachilde, Pierre Vareilles, Miguel Fernandez, Jean Lorrain, and Laurent Tailhaide.Many of these authors did also publish symbolist works, however, and it unclear how strongly they would have identified with Baju as decadents.In France, the Decadent movement is often said to have begun with either Joris-Karl Huysmans' "Against Nature" (1884) or Baudelaire's "Les Fleur du Mal".
