Marking Bohemia: Henri Murger's "Scenes de la Vie de Bohème"
In 1851, Henri Murger published "Scenes de la Vie de Bohème," portraying the Bohemian life of four artists in the Quartier Latin. Some say the book defined the colorful ways of Bohemianism; others say is merely "marked" or even mocked what was a serious social and political rejection of bourgeois values and comforts. The book remains widely read, and the argument endures, as well. This podcast was created by Roger Mummert for www.theparisproject.net.
