The fin-de-siecle period--roughly the years 1880 to 1900--was
characterized by great cultural and political ambivalence, an
anxiety for things lost, and a longing for the new. It also
included an outpouring of intellectual responses to the conflicting
times from such eminent writers as T. H. Huxley, Emma Goldman,
William James, H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, and Oscar Wilde.
In this important anthology, Ledger and Luckhurst make available to
students, scholars, and general readers a large body of
non-literary texts which richly configure the variegated cultural
history of the fin-de-siecle years. That history is here shown to
inaugurate many enduring critical and cultural concerns, with
sections on Degeneration, Outcast London, The Metropolis, The New
Woman, Literary Debates, The New Imperialism, Socialism, Anarchism,
Scientific Naturalism, Psychology, Psychical Research, Sexology,
Anthropology, and Racial Science. Each section begins with an
Introduction and closes with Editorial Notes that carefully situate
individual texts within a wider cultural landscape.
