Expositions: Literature and Architecture in Nineteenth-Century France (Volume 20)

by Philippe Hamon, Katia Sainson-Frank (Translator), Lisa Maguire (Translator)

In Expositions, Philippe Hamon leads us on an engaging intellectual stroll through the spaces and representations of the nineteenth-century French metropolis. Inspired by the cultural histories of Walter Benjamin and Wolfgang Schivelbusch, Expositions explores the spatial and cultural logic of Haussmann's sweeping Paris boulevards, classic novels by Balzac and Zola, the Bon Marché department store, and the poetry of Baudelaire.
