Description

Recovers the lost intellectual, social, and literary history of the belief that the beauty - or ugliness - of the environment in which one is raised influences or even determines one's fate. This book challenges conventional views of the roles of beauty and the aesthetic in art and life between the late 19th century and the middle of the 20th.
