Reihe: European Perspectives: A Series in Social Thought and Cultural Criticism

The years before the First World War have long been romanticized as a zenith of French culture—the “Belle Époque.” Dominique Kalifa traces the making—and the imagining—of the Belle Époque to reveal how and why it became a cultural myth.
