The Edinburgh companion to fin-de-siècle literature, culture and the arts (2017)
Book
Guy, J. (2017). J. Guy (Ed.). The Edinburgh companion to fin-de-siècle literature, culture and the arts. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press

The late nineteenth-century fin de siècle has proved an enduringly fascinating moment in literary and cultural history. It is associated with the emergence of intriguing figures—such as the 'new woman' and 'uranian'; with contradictory impulses—of de...
