Bohemians and Bourgeois Pubilc Worlds and Inner Lives From Bohemia to the Avant-Garde Documentation A Note on Histories of Bohemia Part I 1 -- Part II 213 -- Part III 293 -- 399 -- 401.
Exotic and yet familiar, rife with passion, immorality, hunger, and freedom, Bohemia was an object of both worry and fascination to workaday Parisians in the nineteenth century. No mere revolt against middle-class society, the Bohemia Seigel discovers was richer and more complex, the stage on which modern bourgeois acted out the conflicts of their social identities, testing the liberation promised by post-revolutionary society against the barriers set up to contain it. Turning life into art, Bohemia became a space where many innovative and original figures -- some famous, some obscure -- found a home. - Publisher.
