Decadent Perfuming Epilogue: Cooked Apples and Exotic Perfume Notes Bibliography IndexReviews"""Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth-Century France presents a fascinating overview of how perfume culture became established at the end of the nineteenth century, in parallel with its sister art of haute couture. It educates readers on what goes into the creation and manufacture of perfume and offers new perspectives on both canonical and less well-known French texts. The result is a work of great originality that promises to establish the paradigm for the field of French olfactory literary studies. This book will surely be a go-to reference for some time to come."" - Melanie C. Hawthorne, Professor of French, Texas A&M University ""Well-written and innovative, Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth-Century France illustrates how a lexicon of scent intervened in literary, consumer, and scientific cultures in multiple ways and had a profound impact on nineteenth-century cultural experience. Krueger has shown not only that perfume is a text to be read and interpreted, but that it is also a textual experience with layers of cultural meaning, some of which may remain elusive. This book is an elegantly written, illuminating, and innovative piece of scholarship."" - Susan Hiner, Professor of French, Vassar College" Author InformationCheryl Krueger is an associate professor in the Department of French at the University of Virginia.
