- W2469282012 abstract "Social critic and physician Max Nordau’s vision of fin-de-siecle anxiety stealing about the world is the stuff of nightmares, but most importantly for this investigation, it is the stuff of Gothic nightmares. In the wake of Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859), the prevailing anxiety creeping through the late Victorian period was one of intellectual, physical and moral decline. Britain was haunted by the fear of degeneration at a time when its economic dominance was confronted by a real and credible threat from both Germany and America. New socio-political movements and a ‘fundamental rearrangement of intellectual authority … sparked by scientific advances’ (Kucich, 2002: 120) rattled the foundations of Victorian social structures, attacking the traditions, methods and theories considered by most to be the very fundamentals of civilization. All established systems were being scrutinised: imperialism, religion, patriarchy, the sanctity of marriage, the nuclear family, law and science. The fear of recidivism spread into every aspect of human existence, and according to Nordau, the horrific suggestion of a sickening collapse of social structures evoked ‘even in the most inchoate and rudimentary human being a wondrous feeling of stir and upheaval’ (Nordau, 1895: 7). Bram Stoker’s Dracula transmuted this stress into forms that appeared fantastical, but was at the same time a distorted embodiment of real fin-de-siecle anxiety." @default.
