Left Bank
by Kate MuirA devilishly sneaky, chic, and ironic peek at the glittering inhabitants of Paris's most exclusive neighborhood Olivier and Madison Malin have what most celebrity magazines would call the perfect life. Olivier is a telegenic version of Sartre: philosopher, gourmand, and media personality -- the darling of Paris's most exclusive cafis, as well as the darling of more than one mistress. And Madison's celebrity has eclipsed even her husband's. An American film star turned Parisian It girl, Madison has buried her Texas upbringing -- along with a few years from her true age -- beneath the trappings of an exquisitely decorated salon, an impeccable French accent, and a collection of couture gowns. Together, Olivier and Madison are the toast of Paris's neighborhood of neighborhoods, the Left Bank, where the perfect couple and their friends indulge in fine wines, bon mots, and some exceptional cheeses. Everything looks flawless, if a touch pretentious. But when their precocious trophy daughter Sabine goes missing at a European mega-amusement park, her self-centered parents are finally forced to focus on something other than their own reflections. With the sting of a good Camembert, Kate Muir's fiction debut is a sophisticated, fun, and delightfully satirical look at family life along Paris's Left Bank that will have readers of all ages hungry for more.

Legacies of Romanticism: Literature, Culture, Aesthetics (Routledge Studies in Romanticism)
by Carmen Casaliggi Paul March-RussellThis book visits the Romantic legacy that was central to the development of literature and culture from the 1830s onward. Although critical accounts have examined aspects of this long history of indebtedness, this is the first study to survey both Nineteenth and Twentieth century culture. The authors consider the changing notion of Romanticism, looking at the diversity of its writers, the applicability of the term, and the ways in which Romanticism has been reconstituted. The chapters cover relevant historical periods and literary trends, including the Romantic Gothic, the Victorian era, and Modernism as part of a dialectical response to the Romantic legacy. Contributors also examine how Romanticism has been reconstituted within postmodern and postcolonial literature as both a reassessment of the Modernist critique and of the imperial contexts that have throughout this time-frame underpinned the Romantic legacy, bringing into focus the contemporaneity of Romanticism and its political legacy. This collection reveals the diversity and continuing relevance of the genre in new and exciting ways, offering insights into writers such as Browning, Ruskin, Pater, Wilde, Lewis, MacNeice, and Auster.
