The Impressionists are world renowned for their vibrant depictions
of the atmospheric effects and shimmering beauty of the French
countryside. These paintings, often produced in Paris, found an
enthusiastic market in the city. The inhabitants of that hub of
modernity had an apparently paradoxical interest in the mythologies
of rural living. As the city became more and more the motive force
of social change so the country was understood as the anchor of
changelessness and nostalgia. The essayists in this volume examine
the complex relationship between country and city. Their work draws
widely on the contemporary culture exploring folklore and
children's literature, anarchism and urbanism, and offers
significant new insights into the work of major artists and writers
including Courbet, Millet, Monet, Van Gogh and Zola.
