Le Genie Au XIXe Siecle: Anatomie d'Un Monstre - Paperback

by Ugo Batini (Editor), Marine Riguet (Editor)

Absurd, monstrous, pathological, degenerate. . . throughout the nineteenth century, the concept of the genius weathered a number of reevaluations prompted by new knowledge on humankind and living things. This work retraces the outlines of this interdisciplinary debate, at the heart of the issues of the century.
