Reviews

''Scholars of art history, the social sciences, and gender studies will find much that is useful in this volume due to its reinvestigation of the issue of the presence--both imaginative and material--of the flaneuse in Parisian society." --Therese Dolan, Professor of Art History, Tyler School of Art, Temple University
