Consuming the Past : The Medieval Revival in fin-de-siecle France, Paperback / softback Book

Consuming the Past : The Medieval Revival in fin-de-siecle France Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Revivals series

Paperback / softback

Description

First published in 2003 Consuming the Past covers pilgrimages to popular festivals, from modern spectacles to advertising, from the work of avant-garde painters to the novels of Emile Zola, and explores the complexity of the fin-de-siècle French fascination with the Middle Ages.

The authors map the cultural history of the period from the end of the Franco-Prussian war to the 1905 separation of Church and State illuminating the powerful appeal that the medieval past held for a society undergoing the rapid changes of industrialisation.
