Produktbeschreibung

The fin de siecle period, 1880-1914, has long been associated with decadence and with the literary movements of aestheticism and symbolism. Recently it has received renewed critical interest. The essays in this volume form a valuable introduction to fin de siecle cultural studies and provide a commentary on important aspects of current critical debate and the place of culture in society.
