Oeuvres Completes: La Boheme Galante - Petits Chateaux de BohemePaperback, 24 June 2020

In reminiscing about the rue du Doyenne, Nerval takes part in the invention of bohemian life, which was to become the defining feature of a generation, as well as a literary myth. He also composes an anthology of his own texts, forming a rhapsody of verse and prose that can be seen as a breakaway from the poetic subject.
