The popularity of the heroic cult at this time was in part the result of defeat in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, as well as a reaction to changing gender roles and collective guilt about the egoism and selfishness of modern consumer culture. The author analyzes representations of historical figures in the theater, focusing on Cyrano de Bergerac, Napoleon and Joan of Arc, and examines the press coverage of heroes and anti-heroes in the Bazar de la Charite; fire of 1897 and the Ullmo spy case of 1907"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000847307 650_0 $$aHeroes$$zFrance$$xHistory. 000847307 650_0 $$aWomen heroes$$zFrance$$xHistory. 000847307 650_0 $$aNationalism$$zFrance$$xHistory. 000847307 650_0 $$aSex role$$zFrance$$xHistory. 000847307 852__ $$bebk 000847307 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=691872$$zOnline Access 000847307 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:847307$$pGLOBAL_SET 000847307 980__ $$aEBOOK 000847307 980__ $$aBIB 000847307 982__ $$aEbook 000847307 983__ $$aOnline
