1848 the Romantics are everywhere. Their works are performed in the theater, appear in serials in the newspapers, invade the windows of bookstores. Hugo is elected to the academy, Dumas has inaugurated his theater, Balzac has already written 50 novels and wants to write twice as many, the Human Comedy occupies his entire mind. Sand, recently divorced, opens the doors of her Nohant estate to her friends, Delacroix's painting meets Chopin's music while George's pen unfolds. In Paris, Nerval and Gautier elevate bohemia to an art of living. All together, they create their myth even if it means slightly romanticizing their lives. |
