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 UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/jhu051/99027469.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/jhu052/99027469.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/jhu051/99027469.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/jhu052/99027469.html ER -
