A distinguished list of contributors explores a variety of
perspectives on the artistic culture of France and surrounding
countries during the period 1870 to 1914. Aspects of dance, cinema,
theater, poetry, prose, painting, social and political science,
history, and medicine are covered in interdisciplinary essays that
are both useful to researchers and accessible to students.
The first part of the book, which concentrates on France,
assembles essays on the prose, poetry, and painting of Symbolism
and Decadence, in particular Mallarme and Moreau; on avant-garde
dance and performance; on women's writing; and on early cinema from
Lumiere, Villiers, and Verne.
The second part explores the relations between France and
several cultures. These cross-cultural investigations range from
studies of the Anglo-Celtic "Rhymers' Club" to the Italian
Crepusculari and include discussions of Belgian Symbolism and the
Franco-Anglo-American Axis. The essays consistently point beyond
the late nineteenth century and into the twentieth as they explore
the multiple beginnings -- as well as the false starts -- that
characterize the period.
