Reviews

'This book offers a rich and stimulating cultural topography of the Marais quarter of Paris, from the Middle Ages to the present day. The author nimbly synthesizes a wide range of historical research on the quarter. This in turn furnishes the context for the more original dimension of the project: the close reading of the ways in which the Marais figures in a range of cultural representations.' Douglas Smith, University College Dublin
