From Paris to Pompeii: French Romanticism and the Cultural Politics of Archaeology
Goran Blix
Through the iconic example of Pompeii, and the spell this city cast on the early nineteen-century French Romantic imagination, From Paris to Pompeii shows how an archaeological gaze arose in response to a secular anxiety of memory loss and helped define our modern relationship to history.
