The Fin-de-Siècle Scottish Revival by Michael Shaw, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

As the Irish Revival took shape and the Home Rule debate dominated UK politics, what was happening in Scotland? This book reveals a distinct but comparable concern with cultural defence and revivalism in fin-de-siecle Scotland, evident in the work of a number of writers and artists includingRobert Louis Stevenson, Patrick Geddes, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Mona Caird, John Duncan and various contributors to The Evergreen. Situating Scottish literature and art alongside international developments in culture, especially the rise of decadence, symbolism and Celticism, Michael Shawdemonstrates the ways in which dissident fin-de-siecle styles and ideas supported and defined the Scottish Revival. | The Fin-de-Siècle Scottish Revival by Michael Shaw, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
