Fin de Siecle, or “end of century”; term given to a group of writers (including Symbolists) in France at the end of the 19th century that “celebrates a romantic and willful sense of decay.” It influenced the Bohemian and other counter-culture movements of the 20th century.

French Romanticism “La vague des passions” – waves of passions and sentiment. “Le mal du siecle’”– the pain of the century. The first is represented by the Romantic poets, writers, and artists; the second is typified by the offshoots of the genre, such as the Gothic writers and the Symbolists.
