Max Nordau was a famous writer, a bourgeois examplar of enterprise and energy when his "Degeneration" appeared in Germany in 1892. He argued that the spirit of the times was characterized by enervation, exhaustion, egotism, and inability to adjust or to act. "Degeneration", and the controversy it aroused, served to define the fine de siecle.
