Eccentricity and the Cultural Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Paris

Beschreibung

What did it mean to call someone 'eccentric' in 19th-century Paris? Drawing on etiquette manuals, fashion magazines, newspapers, novels, and psychiatric treatises, this interdisciplinary study illuminates figures of Parisian modernity, from the courtesan and Bohemian to the female dandy and circus freak.
