商品簡介
In France more than 200 writer house museums attract visitors seeking an intimate sort of contact with beloved writers and a connection to their former occupants' creative spirit, according to Emery (French, Montclair State U.). The concept of preserving these houses caught on quickly in mid-19th-century Europe concurrently with the popularity of photos of celebrity homes. This study explores the phenomenon from multiple viewpoints including the writer's home as self portrait, truth and fiction in the popular press about writers at home, and the literary pilgrimage.
