This lively new book examines the origins of modern intimacy and
domestic life. Focusing on Paris in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, the author explores the emergence and development of
ideas such as a sociabilitya , a comforta and a the home. On the
basis of extensive and original research, Pardailhe--Galabrun
describes early modern Paris as a city of contrasts: between
buildings constructed as rental properties with ordinary, cramped
facades, and the townhouses of the nobility, with carriage
entrances, standing on lots alongside spacious courtyards and
gardens. She has produced a vivid picture of the texture and warmth
of life in the domestic world of pre--Revolutionary Parisians.
