A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This remains the classic and sparkling survey of the great awakening of culture in the 1890s. Indeed, it is a book almost as well-known as many of the works of art, literature and people it describes and evaluates. It is quite unambiguously the standard work on the raffish, scandalous, tempestuous yellow nineties of Wilde, Beardsley, Beerbohm and the rest." This edition has 8 illustrations added to the original text. Holbrook Jackson, himself an exceptional stylist, reviews the awakening of the 1890s, the realisation of many new possibilities, and the intent to live life more fully and intensely. He interprets the decade in terms of personalities and argues that the period has a distinct character, in tracing the lines of development among major continental and British figures.
