Product Description

Review

'Her intellectual enthusiam, ironic humour and delight in bohemian absurdity make this a fascinating book to read.' --Sheila Rowbotham, Financial Times

'...a book that is intricately informative, expertly researched and highly entertaining.' --Literary Review


Product Description

Since the early nineteenth century, the bohemian has been the hero of the story the West has wanted to hear about its artists: a story of genius, glamour and doom. The bohemian is variously the artist dying in poverty like Chatterton or Modigliani, a successful self-destroyer like Jackson Pollock, or a celebrity like Nina Hamnett. Elizabeth Wilson s remakable, enjoyable 'Bohemians' is a quest for the many shifting meanings that constitute bohemianism.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but too brief!, 2 Aug 2001
By Murray "Murray Ewing" (West Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
  
Some interesting insights (for example, into the ambiguous relationship between Bohemians and bourgeoisie) scattered among a series of too-brief sketches of bohemian life. Covers a lot of cultural ground, from the early 17th Century to the 1960s, but would probably be enjoyed more if you know more about those eras than I do.
