About this book
Parisian streets become a meeting place for literary memory and city history in this account of Alexandre Dumas and his surroundings. M. F. Mansfield follows the places associated with the novelist, connecting his life and career with the settings used in his fiction. Chapters move through old Paris, the banks of the Seine, the Louvre and the Palais Royal, with attention to the people and events that gave these places their character.
The writing combines historical discussion with observations from walks through the city. In the narrow Rue d'Arbre Sec, a lodging house bearing a musketeers' name prompts a careful distinction between a present building and its possible literary associations. Such details give readers interested in Dumas a way to connect scenes on the page with streets, shops and landmarks. The book also offers a record of how Paris and its literary past appeared to an observer writing in 1904.
