- Summary:
- Chic, sophisticated, seductive and enigmatic, the Parisienne possesses a je ne sais quoi which makes her difficult to define. Who or what is the Parisienne and how she is depicted in cinema is the subject of this work. Here, Chaplin expands on existing scholarship on the Parisienne type in fields such as art history, literature and fashion history, and builds on scholarship on the films discussed to both enrich and offer new perspectives on these films.
