It's not a work of fiction so I'm not sure if it applies. Baudelaire might have made up some details but people like the pagan he described definitely existed at the time. But is this better, Theleekycauldron? Ffranc (talk) 11:41, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • ALT2: ... that Charles Baudelaire wrote "The Pagan School" in opposition to the veneration of Pan in 19th-century France? Source: Juden, Brian (1985). "Visages romantiques de Pan", p. 35. ("Lorsqu'au début de 1852, Baudelaire se retourne contre l'École païenne, un des excès les plus flagrants et les plus symptomatiques de cette subversion lui semble le toast porté au dieu Pan dans un banquet commémoratif de la révolution de février." [When, in the beginning of 1852, Baudelaire turned against the Pagan School, one of the most flagrant and most symptomatic excesses of this subversion appeared to him to be the toast given to the god Pan at a banquet commemorating the February Revolution.])
