Excerpt from The Men of the Nineties
I intend to attempt here is a summary of the activities of certain typical examples of the group as will serve to furnish an appreciation of their general work. And the way I propose to obtain this view is to begin by considering Beardsley as the central figure of the period; to deal next with the two most vital manifestoes of the movement and their respective literary editors, The Yellow Book and Henry Harland, The Savoy and Mr. Arthur Symons, passing on in turn to the writers of fiction, the poets, the essayists and dramatists not of the whole decade, but only to those with whom this par ticular movement is concerned it will then be time to make a few deductions on the spirit of the whole of this tendency. By rigidly adhering to only those men who were actually of the nineties group I am only too conscious these pages will be considered often to be lacking in the great literary events and figures of the age, such as Hardy's Jude the Obscure, the rise of the Kipling star, the tragedy of Wilde, the coming of Conrad, etc. Etc. Yet the sole object of this scant summary would be defeated if I began to prattle of these and others like Bernard Shaw. In fact its raison d'e'tre con strains a method of treatment which must not be broken.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the remarkable literary and artistic explosion of the 1890s, a decade that birthed a vibrant counterculture challenging Victorian conventions. With Oscar Wilde as their figurehead, a bohemian group of writers and artists emerged, seeking artistic freedom and personal expression. Influenced by French Symbolism and Aestheticism, they reveled in artifice and the exploration of taboo subjects. The author traces the movement's evolution through the careers and works of key figures like Aubrey Beardsley, whose decadent drawings pushed the boundaries of black-and-white art, and the writers of The Yellow Book and The Savoy, who explored themes of eroticism, mysticism, and the nature of beauty. Through in-depth analysis of literary works, art, and cultural context, this book sheds light on the profound impact of this era on the development of modern art and literature.
