Published to equal parts scandal and acclaim in 1873, The Renaissance inspired a generation of Oxford undergraduates, who adopted its credo of "art for art's sake" for their Aesthetic Movement. Combining the skepticism of empirical philosophy, the materialism of nineteenth-century science, and the determinism of evolutionary theory, this book defies categorization and endures as an innovative example of cultural criticism.
