| Summary | "The Men of the Nineties" by Bernard Muddiman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the cultural and artistic movements that characterized the 1890s, particularly in London, exploring the emergence of a new generation of artists and writers who sought to break away from the constraints of Victorian norms. The book focuses on influential figures of the time, such as Aubrey Beardsley and Oscar Wilde, and the impact of French artistic movements on English art and literature. The opening of the work introduces readers to the pivotal moment when Aubrey Beardsley left his job to pursue a career in illustration, marking the beginning of this dynamic artistic era. It discusses the collective spirit of camaraderie among the young artists and writers, their influences from French impressionism, and how they rallied against the rigid conventions of the previous decade. Through vivid descriptions, Muddiman sets the stage for an exploration of significant personalities, their philosophies, and the cultural milieu that defined "the nineties," suggesting that this period was not just a fleeting moment but a crucial turning point in art and literature.
