With a broadly framed literary and cultural approach, Jonathan Stone examines\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ea shift in perspective that explodes the notion of reality and showcases the uneasy relationship between the tangible and intangible aspects of the surrounding world. Modernism quenches a growing fascination with the ephemeral and that which cannot be seen while also doubling down on the significance of the material world and finding profound meaning in the physical and the corporeal. Decadence and Symbolism complement the broader historical trajectory of the \u003ci\u003efin de siècle\u003c\/i\u003e by affirming the novelty of a modernist mindset and offering an alternative to the empirical and positivistic atmosphere of the nineteenth century. Stone seeks to recreate a significant historical and cultural moment in the development of modernity, a moment that embraces the concept of Decadence while repurposing its aesthetic and social import to help navigate the fundamental changes that accompanied the dawn of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Stone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030344517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030344511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d","brand":"Jonathan Stone","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089063031039,"sku":"9783030344511","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_abb1b9a0-4cc5-4fc4-8fd5-5585368ef24c.jpg?v=1769107992","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decadence-and-modernism-in-european-jonathan-stone-9783030344511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
