As a consequence, it challenged the strict moral codes of the Victorian era, often exploring themes associated with eroticism, forbidden desires, artificiality, the ravages of time, beauty, death, and decay which were often perceived as transgressive, even taboo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin its ranks are a who’s-who of unconventional and confrontational talent as well as perhaps its greatest exponent; Oscar Wilde, whose embracing of moral rebelliousness and unmasking of Victorian hypocrisy sums up the movement’s greatest achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43435558109262,"sku":"AB-75653","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/files\/TheTop10ShortStories-DecadentAuthors.jpg?v=1784638284","url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/products\/the-top-10-short-stories-the-decadent-audiobook","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
