Max Nordau Was A Famous Writer, A Practicing Physician, A Bourgeois Examplar Of Enterprise And Energy When His Degeneration Appeared In Germany In 1892. He Argued That The Spirit Of The Times Was Characterized By Enervation, Exhaustion, Hysteria, Egotism, And Inability To Adjust Or To Act. Culture Had Degenerated, He Said, And If Criminals, Prostitutes, Anarchists, And Lunatics Were Degenerates, So Were The Authors And Artists Of The Era. Degeneration, And The Controversy It Aroused, Served To Define The Fine De Sicle. Its Targets Included Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde, Ibsen, Tolstoy, Richard Wagner, Zola, And Walt Whitman. The Book Was Enormously Influential. Nordau Anticipated Freud In Describing Art As A Product Of Neurosis, And He Set A Precedent For Psychological And Sociological Critiques Of Literature. You May Wish To Talk Back To Degeneration, As George Bernard Shaw Did, But You Will Be Entertained By Its Vitality. Holbrook Jackson, In The Eighteen Nineties, Called The Book An Example Of The Very Liveliness Of A Period Which Was Equally Lively In Making Or Marring Itself.
