Nineteenth-Century Major Lives and Letters: The Parvenu in Nineteenth-Century French and German Literature

Sasson, S.

This drama of exclusion is symptomatic of nineteenth-century society: ambivalent about social mobility, oscillating between a new sense of opportunity for all and a backward-looking retrenchment to rigid social structures.
