Home and its Dislocations in Nineteenth-Century France

Explores one of the earlier periods of intense homelessness in the modern age--the upheavals of the French Revolution, the July monarchy, and the Second Empire--during which Paris was beset with social and physical changes that left many with a deep sense of alienation. The 15 essays discuss homesickness and the urban artist, aesthetic representations of homelessness, women, and the whole of France as a homeless place. Paper edition (unseen), $21.95.
