1946 Dickensian Spring 61 H. W. Fowler says that a ‘decadent’ is literary slang..for a ‘writer or artist affecting certain vices, obscurities, and turgidities of style’. A very neat, concise, and Fowleresque exposition.

1966 Wichita Falls (Texas) Times 14 Oct. 2 b/1 The nearest we in this country have come to producing a Fowleresque study of American English is this long-awaited book by the late Wilson Follett.

1996 Slate Mag. (Nexis) 16 Jan. A new Fowleresque usage guide by the type of person who would put the hyphen into anal-retentive.

2001 Sunday Tel. (Nexis) 8 July 15 ‘My decease would be of no importance,’ he writes..—a typical instance of Fowleresque self-effacement.
