No city more than Paris has had such a constant and deep
association with the development of literary forms and cultural
ideas. The idea of the city as a space of literary
self-consciousness started to take hold in the sixteenth century.
By 1620, where this volume begins, the first in a long line of
extraordinary works of the human imagination, in which the city
represented itself to itself, had begun to find form in print. This
collection follows that process through to the present day.
Beginning with the 'salon', followed by the hybrid culture of
libertinage and the revolutionary hotbeds of working-class
districts, it explores the continuities and changes between the
pre-modern era and the nineteenth century, when Paris asserted
itself as cultural capital of Europe. It goes on to explore how
this vision of Paris as a key capital of modernity has shaped
contemporary literature.
