The Romantic '90s

Bol

"The Romantic '90s" is a vivid and personal account of the fin-de-siècle literary and artistic landscape in London. Written by Richard Le Gallienne, a central figure of the era, the work serves as an intimate memoir of the 1890s-a decade defined by aestheticism, decadence, and the transition into modernity. Through a series of sketches and reminiscences, Le Gallienne brings to life the vibrant cultural world of the "Yellow Book" era, offering firsthand glimpses into the lives and personalities of iconic figures such as Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, and W.B. Yeats.The narrative captures the unique spirit of a period marked by intense artistic experimentation and social change. Le Gallienne explores the friendships, rivalries, and creative passions that fueled the literary circles of the time, providing invaluable insight into the Victorian era's final flourish. Part literary history and part personal reflection, "The Romantic '90s" remains an essential resource for understanding the poetic and bohemian atmosphere of late nineteenth-century England. Readers will find a charming and evocative portrayal of a time when art and life were inextricably linked, making it a cornerstone for those interested in the history of English literature and the legends of the Nineties.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
