Ancients against Moderns: Culture Wars and the Making of a Fin de Siecle New edition
Joan DeJean
As the end of the 20th century approaches, many predict that it will mirror the 19th-century decline into decadence. The author of this text finds a closer analogy with the culture wars of France in the 1690s - a battle of the books known as the "Quarrel between the Ancients and Moderns".
