Alternative Modernities in French Travel Writing

Description

Tracing spatial practices of French travel writers in London and New York from the period 1851 to the 1980s, this book contributes to a growing body of work that analyses travel and travel writing beyond the Anglophone context, and engages a body of writing in questions surrounding French material, cultural and aesthetic modalities for negotiating and establishing a nexus of meanings for life in the modern city. show more
