Description: Max Nordau published his Entartung (Degeneration) in 1892, an attack on the whole idea of the Fin de Siecle and it's progressive art and culture, which he considered degenerate. As a leading Zionist he also attacks the cult of Richard Wagner, as well as Oscar Wilde, Tolstoy, Nietzsche, Zola, and all to do with the Symbolists and Decadents. A fascinating example of the reaction against late 19th century progressiveness and urbanisation, and the very idea of modernism. This is a very rare copy of the Popular Edition published by Heinemann. In good condition, brown cloth binding. No dust jacket. Slightly bumped and frayed, with some brown staining and foxing on endpapers. Small pen owner's inscription inside front cover.
