Why did writers' private homes become so linked to their work that
contemporaries began preserving them as museums? Photojournalism
and the Origins of the French Writer House Museum addresses this
and other questions by providing an overview of the social forces
that brought writers' homes to the forefront of the French
imagination at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning
of the twentieth. This study analyzes representations of the
apartments and houses of Corneille, Hugo, Balzac, Dumas, Sand,
Zola, Loti, Montesquiou, Mallarme, and Proust, among others,
arguing that the writer's home became a contested space and an
important part of the French patrimony at this time. This is the
first book to emphasize the house museum as an essentially modern
construct, and to trace the history of ideas leading to its
institutionalization in twentieth-century France. The
interdisciplinary study also brings new attention to the importance
of photojournalism for fin-de-siecle France - and brings to light
fascinating and forgotten examples of 'at home' photography by
Dornac and Henri Mairet. Elizabeth Emery provides a fresh and
compelling perspective on conjunctions between visual, literary,
and material cultures.
