Description: This volume explores the intertwining of love and politics in post-revolutionary literature of nineteenth-century France, under the Bourbon Restoration. Andrew J. Counter draws on a variety of genres, from poetry to gossip, to recreate a pivotal moment in the transition from an amorous old regime to erotic - and political - modernity.
