Simultaneously a literary trope, a cultural nexus, and a socio-economic landscape, la vie bohème traveled to the United States from the Parisian Latin Quarter in the 1850's. At first the province of small artistic coteries, Bohemia soon inspired a popular vogue, embodied in restaurants, clubs, neighborhoods, novels, poems, and dramatic performances across the country. Levin's study follows la vie bohème from its earliest expressions in the U.S. until its explosion in Greenwich Village in the 1910's. Although Bohemia was everywhere in nineteenth- and twentieth-century American culture, it has received relatively little scholarly attention. Bohemia in America, 1858?1920 fills this critical void, discovering and exploring the many textual and geographic spaces in which Bohemia was conjured. Joanna Levin not only provides access to a neglected cultural phenomenon but also to a new and compelling way of charting the development of American literature and culture. 606 $aAmerican literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterary movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterary movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aBohemianism$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBohemianism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aBohemianism in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterary movements$xHistory 615 0$aLiterary movements$xHistory 615 0$aBohemianism$xHistory 615 0$aBohemianism$xHistory 615 0$aBohemianism in literature. 676 $a810.9/11 700 $aLevin$b Joanna$01465079 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781049503321 996 $aBohemia in America, 1858-1920$93674933 997 $aUNINA
