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