Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique and ambitious literary endeavor. The author sets out to analyze the artistic and intellectual movement under the banner of Symbolism across the disciplines and national boundaries of the nineteenth century. The author argues that this movement, which started as a reaction against Realism and Naturalism, was not simply a literary fashion but a vibrant and far-reaching philosophical worldview that still resonates in the present day. Symbolism in its various forms and permutations across different disciplines is a search for transcendence and emotional truth which the author argues is more important to understanding the last decades of the 19th century than more strictly political and economic factors.
