Belgium: The Golden Decades, 1880-1914," a collaboration between Belgian and American scholars, weaves together six stimulating essays that investigate the fin-de-siecle renaissance in architecture, painting, decorative arts, and literature. The period coincides with the tenures of the famous exhibition societies, Les XX (1884-1893), and its successor, La Libre Esthetique (1894-1914).
