Perhaps the best study of the Eighteen Nineties ever written, by a critic who was a contemporary collector and enthusiast, who saw the Nineties as far from the decadent decade castigated by max Nordau and others but as a creative, sane and healthy expression of vitality and a rebirth of the arts. Book is clean, fine and unmarked. Slipcase has rubbing at tips of opening, else is better than very good, bright, clean and free of tears or chips. A handsome copy, scarce in a slipcase this fine.
