Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Barbara, 2003.
In 1830s Paris, Romantic writers and artists were increasingly known as “bohemian,” an adjective that had previously referred only to gypsies erroneously believed to be from the country of Bohemia. The Romantics received this moniker due to their eccentric behavior, rootless existence, and flamboyant disregard for the values of their bourgeois origin. They embody a rejection of bourgeois life, and celebrate an alternative to it. Bohemian characters appear in many seminal nineteenth-century texts as liminal figures, on the threshold of both the bourgeois world and its marginalized castoffs in the underworld. Through close readings of fiction by Gérard de Nerval, Victor Hugo, Henri Murger and Honoré de Balzac, this dissertation argues that the overwhelming popularity of the bohemian, and the desire of the bourgeois to come into contact with subculture and marginal spaces, points to an acute ambivalence at the core of bourgeois life.Subjects--Topical Terms:

I further investigate the mass appeal of the bohemian artist as a draw for tourists. Interest in the bohemian was so great that the newly expanded tourist class of the nineteenth century sought to visit the real locations mentioned in fictional narratives. Since the urban spaces frequented by bohemians were also those inhabited by more marginalized elements of the population, the fascination with the bohemian character in literature indicates an underlying appeal to the margins of bourgeois life. Transgression is more permissible for the bourgeois subject when he or she is away from home, which allows the tourist to act out his or her fantasy of bohemian life without abandoning the security of bourgeois comfort. I extend this analysis to twentieth-century writings by Walter Benjamin, where the condition of literal or perceived homelessness causes successors of the nineteenth-century bohemian to inhabit foreign space more permanently.
