Description
Often referred to in literature, the night belongs to the genealogy of Parisian myths. This historical study evokes the many metamorphoses of 19th century night life in the French capital: the architectural and technical equipment, such as the installation of gas lighting, the development of places of leisure, and, as a result, of organized law enforcement to maintain order.
Author
Simone Delattre : A doctor of history and a disciple of Alain Corbin, Simone Delattre teaches at the Lycée Fénelon.
