Volupté is an MLA-indexed online journal of decadence from antiquity to the present. It appears each year in Spring and Autumn, and brings together in themed issues creative and critical approaches to the fast-growing field of decadence studies.

The aim of Volupté is to enhance and broaden the scope of decadence studies and stimulate discussion in relation to literary decadence and other forms of discourse, including Philosophy, Psychology, Religion, and Science. Peer-reviewed essays and book reviews will be published alongside new translations, poetry, short fiction, and visual art. Based at Goldsmiths, University of London, Volupté is dedicated to promoting cutting-edge work by creative writers and artists and publishing the best research on decadence by early career and established scholars.
