Description
Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth-Century France explores the intersection of smell and literature in 19th-century France, where the language of olfaction is used to convey the unique character of a text.
The book delves into the world of French perfume culture, examining how fiction and related writing on smell intersect and illuminate one another. By analyzing a range of sources, including medical tracts, letters, and print advertisements, Cheryl Krueger sheds light on the ways in which the olfactory language of a novel or poem conveys its distinctiveness.
This study challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between perfume and literature, offering a fresh perspective on the cultural significance of scent in 19th-century France.
