COIFFURES LES CHEVEUX DANS LA LITTÉRATURE ET LA CULTURE FRANÇAISES DU XIXE SIÈCLE

This essay puts the hairstyle of 19th-century women in its cultural, literary and symbolic context. It dwells on the social and cultural mores of Paris – at the time the global capital of fashion – and studies how such authors as Balzac, Sand, Flaubert, Maupassant and Zola made use of female hairstyles.
