I studied it as part of my History degree:

Twice in fact: once in the second year as part of a course on European Intellectual History (where it came up as part of the fin-de-siecle cultural anxieties in France) and in a Third Year on France 1850-1900 and the Boulanger crisis.

Have you read Elias Canetti's 'Crowds and Power'?
