%X Este trabajo analiza las escenas de lectura y los comentarios literarios presentes en 角 rebours, de J.K. Huysmans, y The Picture of Dorian Gray, de Oscar Wilde. Escritas en un per赤odo de eclosi車n de la letra impresa, modernizaci車n tipogr芍fica y constituci車n del gran p迆blico, las novelas traslucen la lucha de las elites por conservar sus prerrogativas a partir de la posesi車n de un capital simb車lico. Ante la vertiginosa diversificaci車n y democratizaci車n del p迆blico, el h谷roe decadente necesita sobreactuar sus rasgos de distinci車n para mantener la distancia respecto de las masas y de la vulgaridad burguesa. Esta actitud incide en los soportes textuales, as赤 como en los prop車sitos y modos de lectura de los protagonistas. This paper deals with the reading scenes and literary comments present in 角 rebours, by J.K. Huysmans and The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde. Written in a flowering period of the printed word, typographic modernization and emergence of the great reading public, both novels show the fight of the elites for keeping a symbolic capital. In the face of an increasing diversity and democratization of the reading public, the decadent hero needs to overact his features of distinction to keep the distance from the masses and the bourgeoisie. This exaggerated refinement is clearly seen in the materials used by the protagonists, their purposes and reading approach.
