Poetry and the Police: Communication Networks in Eighteenth-century Paris
Robert Darnton
In spring 1749, Francois Bonis found himself unexpectedly hauled off to the Bastille for distributing an 'abominable poem about the king.' So began the Affair of the Fourteen, a police crackdown on ordinary citizens for unauthorized poetry recitals. This book follows the poems as they passed through several media.
