Description
Chic, sophisticated, seductive and enigmatic, the Parisienne possesses a je ne sais quoi that makes her difficult to define. But who or what is the Parisienne, and how is she depicted in cinema?
La Parisienne in Cinema is the first book-length study on the subject, combining scholarship in the fields of art history, literature and fashion to enrich our understanding of this intriguing cinematic figure, simultaneously offering new perspectives on film.
Accessible and wide-ranging, it will be of immediate interest to students and researchers working in film studies, French studies and the broader humanities, as well as cinephiles and Francophiles alike.

Praised for its well-researched and insightful analysis, this monograph captivates with an engaging style and broad scholarship. Dervila Cooke of Dublin City University highlights its value to film, fashion, and cultural studies. Chaplin deftly presents the Parisienne as an urban modern woman, embodying both muse and artist, with complex class origins and contrasting traits from sexual openness to refined elegance.
