Description
This remains the classic and sparkling survey of the great awakening of culture in the 1890s. Indeed, it is a book almost as well-known as many of the works of art, literature and people it describes and evaluates. It is quite unambiguously the standard work on the raffish, scandalous, tempestuous 'yellow nineties' of Wilde, Beardsley, Beerbohm and the rest.
Media reviews
"Enoch Soames"
When a book about the literature of the 1890s was given by Mr Holbrook Jackson to the world ... Many writers whom I had ... remembered but faintly lived again for me.... The book was as thorough as it was brilliantly written.
