Longing to Belong: The Parvenu in Nineteenth-Century French and German Literature

S. Sasson, "Longing to Belong: The Parvenu in Nineteenth-Century French and German Literature"
English | 2012 | pages: 222 | ISBN: 1137278218 | PDF | 2,4 mb

An emblematic figure of the 'bourgeois century,' the parvenu represents the Other on which a society depends. This drama of exclusion is symptomatic of nineteenth-century society: ambivalent about social mobility, oscillating between a new sense of opportunity for all and a backward-looking retrenchment to rigid social structures.
