This impressive work is the first attempt to discover the place romantic ideas had in the lives of ordinary men and women in 19th-century France.
Focusing on the Paris book world of this period, Dr. Allen reveals how the rise of a new popular literature -- jolly chansonniers, the roman-feuilletons or serial novels, melodramas, gothic and sentimental novels, dramatic nationalistic histories -- by such authors as Dumas, Sand, Lamennais, Ancelot, Desnoyer, and de Kock coincided with singular developments in the production, distribution, and consumption of books. Dr. Allen's research ranges from a survey of the then-popular romantic titles and authors, and the trade catalogs of booksellers and lending libraries, to the police records of their activities, diaries and journals of working people, and military conscript records and ministerial statistics.
The result is a remarkable picture of the exchange between elite and popular culture, the interaction between ideas and their material reality, and the relationship between the literature and the history of France in the romantic period (1815-1848).
