Yet as the bombshells and fires of the Année 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\u003eÀ rebours\u003c\/em\u003e (1884). She explores the distressing freight of meaning attached to glass for readers in the wake of the Année 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 1909662879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909662872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.44d","brand":"Hannah Scott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424504987903,"sku":"9781909662872","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb2e86a4-38a5-4512-bb51-ce2a73747a00.jpg?v=1761530660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/broken-glass-broken-world-hannah-scott-9781909662872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
