[Laurie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fin-de-Siecle, Decadence and Dandyism explained, explored and experienced. Holbrook Jackson takes his readers on a tour of the art, literature, culture and personalities of this period in history.

A very informative book on the fin de siècle and the Age of Decadence in England. It really pulls together all the major English contributors (and a few French ones as well), tying in a bunch of previously-random-to-me artists into one defining age. It's a bit dry, but it had all of the information that I needed, and in the end was a pretty quick read.
