Summary
This short epilogue uses Algernon Blackwood’s short story ‘Special Delivery’ as a closing example of the ease with which decadence, queer politics, environmentalism, and eco-paganism were, by the early twentieth century, being readily intermingled. The cultural equations that make up the key arguments of Decadent Ecology had, by this time, become quite familiar.
