Description
Published in 1892, Degeneration is a seminal work by Max Nordau that explores the cultural and social landscape of its time. Nordau argues that the spirit of the era was marked by enervation, exhaustion, and a decline in moral fibre.
The book targets prominent figures of the period, including Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde, Ibsen, Tolstoy, Richard Wagner, Zola, and Walt Whitman, among others. Nordau's critique of art as a product of neurosis was ahead of its time, anticipating some of the ideas of Sigmund Freud.
Degeneration remains a thought-provoking and influential work that offers insight into the cultural and intellectual currents of late 19th-century Europe. Its impact on literary criticism and sociological analysis continues to be felt today.
