Vie de Boheme:

A Patch of Romantic Paris

By ORLO WILLIAMS

The phrase "Vie de Boheme" is one in very frequent use, but few of its
users recognize its implication. At the time when the term originated in
French literature it had a very special meaning. That time was the
Romantic period, one of the most brilliant in all the history of French
artistic achievement, and the phrase denoted the life of an important
section of Parisian Society between the years of 1830 and 1848. It was
called into being by special circumstances and conditions in 1830;
reached its golden age in 1835, and slowly declined till the revolution
of 1848 reduced it to a mere excrescence on the life of art students, as
it now is. "La Boheme" was strictly Parisian, as Henri Murger said it
must be; it arose through the literary and social revolution of 1830; it
flourished because of the universality of the Romantic spirit of which
it was a flower; it declined because its second generation had neither
the enthusiasm nor the talent of its first. Mr. Orlo Williams surveys
the period very thoroughly, and his book is illustrated in colour and
half-tone, from contemporary pictures and prints.
