Pressezitat
"Marja Härmänmaa and Christopher Nissen's Decadence, Degeneration, and the End: Studies in the European Fin de Siècle is a highly original collection of essays that successfully brings new issues, new authors, and new artists into the orbit of decadent culture. A particular strength is the book's richly comparative, multidisciplinary approach: the essays range over British, French, Belgian, Spanish, Scandinavian, German, Greek, Italian, and Russian culture, while also extending discussion of decadence beyond literature and into the fields of art and science.
