Fashioned Texts and Painted Books: Nineteenth-Century French Fan Poetry - North Carolina Studies in the Romance Languages and Literatures
Erin Edgington
Examines the folding fan's multiple roles in fin-de-siecle and early twentieth-century French literature. Focusing on the fan's identity as a symbol of feminine sexuality, as a collectible art object, and, especially, as an alternative book form well suited to the reception of poetic texts, the study highlights the fan's suitability as a substrate for verse.
