Round 7: Tossup 18

A work promoting this movement includes a mock drama in which “Erato” defends this movement against the detractor Theodore de Banville. “The Peacocks” author Gustave Kahn (-5[1])co-founded a periodical for publishing works from this movement. A foundational poem for this movement opens by describing nature as a temple with “living pillars” and (10[1])man wandering a forest (10[1])of this movement’s central objects. The influence (-5[1])of synesthesia (10[1])on this movement is reflected in a poem in which each vowel is associated with a specific color. Jean Moréas’s (“mo-ray-OSS’s”) manifesto for this movement (-5[1])champions a poet who opened a collection with an address to the “hypocrite” reader. For 10 points, the Decadent movement is contrasted with what French movement that grew from the publication of Les Fleurs du (10[1])Mal? ■END■ (10[1]0[3])
