2009réf. RE-QSEX-EB7P2009 OUP hardcover edition. Ex library copy with stamps and labels and without dustjacket else good condition. This interdisciplinary study charts shifting French perceptions of the anomalous and bizarre from the 1830s to the fin de siecle focusing on three key issues. First during the July Monarchy eccentricity was linked to fashion dandyism and commodity culture; to many Parisians it epitomized the dangerous seductions of modernity and the growing prestige of the courtesan. Second in the aftermath of the 1848 Revolution eccentricity was associated with the Bohemian artists and performers who inhabited 'the unknown Paris' a zone of social exclusion which middle-class spectators found both fascinating and repugnant. Finally the popularization of medical theories of national decline in the latter part of the century led to decreasing tolerance for individual difference and eccentricity was interpreted as a symptom of hidden insanity and deformity. Drawing on a wide range of sources including etiquette manuals fashion magazines newspapers novels and psychiatric treatises the study highlights the central role of gender in shaping perceptions of eccentricity. It provides new readings of works by major French writers and illuminates both well-known and neglected figures of Parisian modernity from the courtesan and Bohemian to the female dandy and circus freak.
