Round 9: 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 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 (-5[1])pillars” and man (-5[1])wandering a forest of this movement’s central (10[1]-5[1])objects. The influence of synesthesia on this movement is reflected in a poem (10[1])in which each vowel is associated with a (10[1])specific color. (10[1])Jean Moréas’s (“mo-ray-OSS’s”) manifesto for this movement (-5[1])champions a poet (10[1])who opened a collection with an address to the “hypocrite” (10[1])reader. For 10 points, the Decadent movement is contrasted with what French movement that grew from the publication of (10[1])Les Fleurs du Mal? ■END■ (10[4]0[1])
