When Prussian forces completely blockaded Paris, isolating the city from the outside world, Parisians turned to literature to resist the enemy, to fill the idle hours under siege, and to articulate their place in history. This cultural boom was a conscious effort on the part of literary institutions like newspapers, publishers, and theaters to ensure the viability of their industries during a period of political uncertainty. To do so, many publishers, editors, and directors sought legitimacy through populism, promoting literature written by anonymous and unknown authors or that spoke to populist ideas. A study of national tragedy on a local scale, The Culture of War goes beyond traditional narratives of communal or individual psychology, and studies institutional responses to financial and political instability, viewing literature as a product of economic and political forces. -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-229) and index. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Franco-Prussian War, 1870-1871 $x Influence on literature. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z Paris $z Paris $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z Paris $z Paris $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Book industries and trade $z Paris $z Paris $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a French literature $z Paris $z Paris $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Book industries and trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836171 650 7 $a Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836454 650 7 $a French literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934688 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x History $y Siege, 1870-1871. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social life and customs $y 19th century. 651 7 $a France $z Paris. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205283 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Studies in modern and contemporary France ; $v 6. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020926.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A1053BE2FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
