Conclusion Notes Selected Bibliography Index"ReviewsEmery successfully straddles both an academic and a more broad-based audience with an interest in French literature, history, or medievalism. Her style is accessible and the product of insightful, complex scholarship. Fin-de-siecle medievalism is a sadly understudied field. While scholars have taken on some of the themes that Emery charts in regard to individual authors and artists, none look comprehensively at the very prominent image of the cathedral in fin-de-siecle French culture. - Laura Morowitz, coeditor of Artistic Brotherhoods in the Nineteenth Century Author InformationElizabeth Emery is Assistant Professor in the Department of French, German, and Russian at Montclair State University.
