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

Sarah Juliette Sasson

4.9/5 (17720 ratings)

Description:Rising from humble origins to a position of preeminence, galvanized by the possibilities for financial gains made possible by the 'age of capital, ' multitudes of social climbers appeared, 'on the make, ' bent on conquering society's upper reaches by whatever means available. Yet making it is not the same as fitting in: 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 as a whole - ambivalent about social mobility and the meaning of social advancement, oscillating between a new sense of opportunity for all and a backward-looking retrenchment to rigid social structures. The parvenu allows us to decipher a culture and its prejudices, its fears and its difficulty in negotiating the advent of modernity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
