Situated between the Victorians and Modernism, the fin de siecle is
an exciting and rewarding period to study. In the literature and
art of the 1890s, the processes of literary and cultural change can
be seen in action. In this, more than any previous decade,
literature was an active and controversial participant within
debates over morality, aesthetics, politics and science, as
Victorian certainties began to break down. Oscar Wilde, Aubrey
Beardsley, H. G. Wells, Bram Stoker and Olive Schreiner were among
the most prominent, occasionally even notorious, writers and
artists of the period, challenging establishment values and
producing a distinctive literature of their own. This volume
includes the main currents of radical and innovative thinking in
the period, as well as the attempts to resist them. It will be of
great interest to students of Victorian and twentieth-century
literature, art and cultural history.
