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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aArt and literature 606 $aDecadence (Literary movement) 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aGreat Britain$xCivilization$y19th century 607 $aEurope$xCivilization$y19th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aArt and literature. 615 0$aDecadence (Literary movement) 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9/008 702 $aMarshall$b Gail$f1965- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201145703316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to the fin de sie?cle$92493509 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
