Between Light and Darkness: New Perspectives in Symbolism Research is the first issue in the series Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century published by the Birch and the Star. This publication builds on the 2010 Symposium Between Light and Darkness which was held at the Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki. It explores issues related to religion, mysticism, and subjectivity in Symbolist art and theory, the fin-de-siècle relationship between art and science, and the continuation of the Symbolist influence after the fin-de-siècle period.
