520 "The years before the First World War have long been
romanticized as a zenith of French culture, the "Belle
Époque." The era is seen as the height of a lost way of
life that remains emblematic of what it means to be
French. In a vast range of texts and images, it appears as
a carefree time full of joie de vivre, fanfare and frills,
artistic daring, and scientific innovation. The Moulin
Rouge shared the stage with the Universal Exposition,
Toulouse-Lautrec rubbed elbows with Marie Curie and La
Belle Otero, and Fantômas invented automatic writing. This
book traces the making-and the imagining-of the Belle
Époque to reveal how and why it became a cultural myth.
Dominique Kalifa lifts the veil on a period shrouded in
nostalgia, explaining the century-long need to
continuously reinvent and even sanctify this moment. He
sifts through images handed down in memoirs and
reminiscences, literature and film, art and history to
explore the many facets of the era, including its
worldwide reception. The Belle Époque was born in France,
but it quickly went global as other countries adopted the
concept to write their own histories. In shedding light on
how the Belle Époque has been celebrated and reimagined,
Kalifa also offers a nuanced meditation on time, history,
and memory"--|cProvided by publisher
