John Barlas (1860-1914) was one of the key figures of the 1890s poetry landscape and, through his writings, was responsible for introducing and popularising forms of Decadence and Aestheticism. However, unlike his better-known contemporaries such as Oscar Wilde, Ernest Dowson, and Arthur Symons, many of whom admired his work, today Barlas languishes forgotten and is barely remembered.
