Ranging through the late nineteenth century, the Belle Epoque, the 'roaring twenties', and the emancipatory post-war years, Rosemary Lancaster highlights the contributions of nine remarkable women to the cultural identity of the Riviera in its seminal rise to fame. Embracing an array of genres, she gives new focus to feminine writings never previously brought together, nor as richly critically explored. Fiction, memoir, diary, letters, even cookbooks and choreographies provide compelling evidence of the innovativeness of women who seized the challenges and opportunities of their travels in a century of radical social and artistic change"--Provided by publisher.Faux titre ;volume 442.Literary landmarksFranceRivieraWomen authors, AmericanHomes and hauntsFranceRivieraWomen authors, EnglishHomes and hauntsFranceRivieraWomen authors, FrenchHomes and hauntsFranceRivieraWomen authors, RussianHomes and hauntsFranceRivieraRiviera (France)Intellectual life20th centuryRiviera (France)Intellectual life19th centuryRiviera (France)BiographyLiterary landmarksWomen authors, AmericanHomes and hauntsWomen authors, EnglishHomes and hauntsWomen authors, FrenchHomes and hauntsWomen authors, RussianHomes and haunts840.9/9287Lancaster Rosemary1622603MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827587903321Women writing on the French Riviera3956559UNINA
