What is the fact and fiction, truth and myth about absinthe? Jad Adams examines these issues in the context of the nineteenth-century art, literature, science, and social history. He outlines how the bourgeois aperitif of choice eventually symbolized the lack of control, the depths of degeneration, and its eventual ban in most countries. His main interest, however, is its influence on "hedonistic culture" reflected by artists and writers of the nineteenth century. Adams discusses absinthe's role in the life and work of many of them and uses Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Strindberg as detailed examples. Interesting reading.
