Marilyn R Brown

The Gamin de Paris in Nineteenth-Century Visual Culture

Delacroix, Hugo, and the French Social Imaginary

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book argues that images of the Paris urchin addressed transformations at the heart of modernity, including the decline of patriarchal, monarchical social structures and the rise of industrial capitalism and colonialism. It parses a contested national archetype that emerged from repeated, recycled representations of revolutions (1830, 1832, 1848, 1871).
