Degeneration and decay, both of bodies and civilizations, as well as illness, death, bizarre sexuality, and general morbidity, all became essential aspects of fin-de-sieÌcle consciousness, manifesting themselves in a wide variety of literary genres, visual art forms and social practices. The studies range from the Mediterranean world to Scandinavia and Russia, with special emphasis on the artists and writers of France and Britain, and on subjects as diverse as Oscar Wilde, August Strindberg, Joris-Karl Huysmans, Aubrey Beardsley, the Nordic Decadents, the perceived decline of Latin civilization, Gabriele D'Annunzio, Max Nordau, Charles Cottet's paintings of mourning widows, Stefan George, the consumptive Russian artist Mariia Iakunchikova, advertising illustrations glorifying morphine addicts, decadent sexological theory, Salome in all of her outrageous incarnations, and the heat-death of the universe"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Decadence (Literary movement) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85036155 650 0 $a Literature and society $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Degeneration in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94003788 650 0 $a Decadence in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85036157 650 7 $a HISTORY $z Europe $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a HaÌrmaÌnmaa, Marja, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n99281106 700 1 $a Nissen, Christopher, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n93076281 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180118064448.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=52198F32FC1F11E7B7150C4F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
