"Charles Baudelaire's flâneur, as described in his 1863 essay "The Painter of Modern
Life," remains central to understandings of gender, space, and the gaze in late nineteenth-century
Paris, despite misgivings by some scholars. Baudelaire's privileged and leisurely
figure, at home on the boulevards, underlies theorizations of bourgeois masculinity
and, by implication, bourgeois femininity, whereby men gaze and roam urban spaces
unreservedly while women, lacking the freedom to either gaze or roam, are wedded to
domesticity. In challenging this tired paradigm and offering fresh ways to consider
how gender, space, and the gaze were constructed, this book attends to several neglected
elements of visual and written culture: the ubiquitous male beggar as the true denizen
of the boulevard, the abundant depictions of well-to-do women looking (sometimes at
men), the popularity of windows and balconies as viewing perches, and the overwhelming
emphasis given by both male and female artists to domestic scenes. The book's premise
that gender, space, and the gaze have been too narrowly conceived by a scholarly embrace
of Baudelaire's flâneur is supported across the cultural spectrum by period sources
that include art criticism, high and low visual culture, newspapers, novels, prescriptive
and travel literature, architectural practices, interior design trends, and fashion
journals"--Back cover
