The penultimate volume in this series chronicles the move towards modernism, covering the arts, politics, and philosophy from the end of the 1700s to the dawn of the twentieth century.

Using literary and musical excerpts to illuminate discussions, Fiero addresses important events and discoveries of the nineteenth century world.

Volume five begins with the art and literature of the Romantic era, and concludes with coverage of the shifting aesthetics of the late nineteenth century.

As in previous volumes, Volume Five includes a range of vivid illustrations and images throughout the text to enhance the material.
