The Eighteen Nineties: A Review of Art and Ideas at the Close of the Nineteenth Century - Softcover

With great insight, Holbrook Jackson brings alive and interprets the creative expressions of this vibrant decade. Each chapter deals with a leading figure, style or trend, capturing with succinct and fluent prose the diverse personalities who held the stage. Jackson shows how it was a period of renaissance as much as of decadence - and as such became the threshold to the modern era.
