Description

In uncovering the roots of modernism, a master historian shows readers the hidden side of the Victorian era: the role of the bourgeois as reactionaries, revolutionaries, and middle-of-the-roaders in the passage of high culture toward modernism. No one reading this concluding volume of Gay's magnificent reevaluation of the 19th century will ever again use the term Victorian as a synonym for dull. In this final volume of his series, the author looks at the art created during the Victorian decades, including the work of Flaubert, Cézanne, Picasso, Stravinsky, Shaw, Ibsen, and Zola. 324 p., [16] p. of plates : ill., 1 plan, ports. ; 25 cm.
