About this ebook
"The Green Carnation" by Robert Hichens is a satire on contemporary champions of the Aesthetic Movement. In the opening scene, Lord Reggie Hastings slips a green carnation into his evening coat before attending a dinner party at Mrs Windsor's house in Belgrave Square. He converses there with Esmé Amarinth, a married playwright; and Lady Locke, a young widow who has only recently returned to England after a ten-year absence. Lady Locke is initially attracted by Lord Reggie, but becomes increasingly disturbed by his wearing of the green carnation and what it symbolises about his flippant attitude to life.
