The Edinburgh Companion to Fin De Siecle Literature, Culture and the Arts

An exciting and adventurous collection which sets out to challenge established interpretations of this complex period. * Valerie Sanders, University of Hull *
The Edinburgh Companion to Fin-de-Siècle Literature, Culture and the Arts is a comprehensive resource for those who wish to familiarize themselves with the fin de siècle, covering common concepts such as the Gothic, Catholicism, and secularism as well as print forms, geographical differentiation, gender, and sexuality. Visual images included in the essays on form and little magazines are particularly helpful in understanding how poetic and prose forms aligned with fin de siècle notions in literature. -- Keelia Estrada Moeller, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities * Victorian Periodicals Review, Volume 53, Number 1, Spring 2020 *
Distinguished and exceptional; they offer readers concrete arguments from which to expand and further consider the connections between the fin-de-siècle, decadence, and modernism. -- Robert Finnigan, Nottingham Trent University * Victoriographies *
