Recenzje

In this deeply researched study, Jennifer Walker shows how in the 1890s masses and concerts were held to honor Saint Genevieve, drawing anti-clerical intellectuals among a rapt bourgeois audience to honor the capital city's patron saint. The book will fascinate readers by opening up new perspectives on Parisian life in the Third Republic.
