Count Stenbock, the decadents' decadent

The TLS has published a rave review of a new edition of the works of Count Stenbock. I hadn't heard of him before, but he certainly put some effort in keeping his reputation as a decadent, apparently writing with a snake around his neck, and dying of opium addiction.

There is also this piece in Wormwoodiana

I admire Stenbock rather for his genuinely bizarre sensibilities (and aspect) than his writing.
