Softcover 324 pp.
6 1/8 4in. x 9-1/4 in. From original
book jacket description: "This book takes its readers through
the streets and fairs of 18th-century Paris -- from cafes to boulevard
theaters, and even to freak shows -- on a lively investigation of various
forms of popular entertainment, the people who enjoyed them, and the
reasons for their popularity. Isherwood's imaginative description of
the public's subliminal search for sex, pathos, brutality, and absurdity
through certain types of entertainment reveals the differences -- and
similarities -- between popular and elite culture, and brings the world
of pre-revolutionary France to life. |
