Résumé

« Paris & The Parisians in 1835 VOL I » by Frances Milton Trollope immerses readers in the French capital under the July Monarchy, blending sharp social observations with architectural insights. Trollope, a pioneer of Victorian travel writing, dissects Parisian customs with a critical yet fascinated eye, contrasting aristocratic salons with the chaos of pre-Haussmann streets. The volume decodes fashion norms, political tensions, and cultural clashes between French and English societies during Louis-Philippes reign. Passages on the Palais-Royal and Parisian theaters reveal a society torn between revolutionary legacies and bourgeois aspirations. A cornerstone for European cultural history enthusiasts, this work serves as both historical guide and early manifesto of ethnographic methodology. Its analysis of gender roles and class inequality foreshadows modern sociological debates.
