Produktbeschreibung
Why did writers' private homes become so linked to their work that contemporaries began preserving them as museums? This title addresses this and other questions by providing an overview of 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.
Photojournalism and the Origins of the French Writer House Museum is the first book to emphasize the house museum as a modern construct, and to trace the history of ideas and images leading to its institutionalization in twentieth-century France. This study analyzes newspaper and magazine representations of the homes of Corneille, Hugo, Balzac, Dumas, Sand, Zola, Loti, Montesquiou, Mallarmé, and Proust, among others, arguing that the writer's home became an important part of the French patrimony in the last decades of the nineteenth century.
