| Description: |
A reconsideration of the abstract death and afterlife ideas of the 1890s in the light of modern critical thought. The contributors essays draw on a range of approaches and are broadly inter-disciplinary. |
| Synopsis: |
The internationally distinguished scholars who have contributed to this timely book were asked to take part in a collaborative act of demystification: a reconsideration of the eschatological ideas of the last fin de sicle, the 1890s, in the light of the critical thought of the 1990s. Their essays draw upon a range of approaches, and are broadly interdisciplinary. All are characterised by the realisation that, with a century's hindsight, the late 1800s should be seen not so much as a period of decadence as of discovery and growth. |
