"What did the main 'aesthetic' writers of late nineteenth-century Britain make of German literature, and how in turn did Germany react to them? The impact of Anglo-Scottish art nouveau in fin-de-siecle Austria and Germany made it predictable that Keats, Pater and Rossetti, among others, would be well received, but no one could have known in advance that by the time of their deaths Swinburne and Wilde would be more highly regarded in Germany than in Britain." "Bridgwater's study casts new light on the central cultural issues of the day, including ideas of morality, truth and subjectivism in art, comparing Patar and Wilde with Nietzsche, and George Moore, that chameleon of the decadent nineties, with Schopenhauer."--Jacket.
