Yet as the bombshells and fires of the Ann e Terrible wreaked havoc upon Paris in 1870-71, this modern dreamland was harrowed by the sight and sound of shattering glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this interdisciplinary study, Hannah Scott combines cultural history with close literary analyses of fictional works by three major authors from the period: Emile Zola's \u003cem\u003eAu Bonheur des Dames\u003c\/em\u003e (1883), Guy de Maupassant's \u003cem\u003eContes et nouvelles\u003c\/em\u003e (1870-1891), and Joris-Karl Huysmans's decadent masterpiece, \u003cem\u003e  rebours\u003c\/em\u003e (1884). She explores the distressing freight of meaning attached to glass for readers in the wake of the Ann e Terrible, before Symbolism and the Art Nouveau could purify the material world of its haunting past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHannah Scott is a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hannah Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781883181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781883181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.35d","brand":"Hannah Scott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46617938362623,"sku":"9781781883181","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80b850ae-79bb-4900-a969-48e24406ad2e.jpg?v=1740068740","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/broken-glass-broken-world-hannah-scott-9781781883181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
