The Salon and English Letters (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

This 1915 volume explores the history of both the French and English salons and their influence upon literature. The author states that writers “could discover in the conversations of the salons what a nation, always radical at heart, had made of the theories of free thought, liberty, and equality.” Chapters include “English Authors in Parisian Salons,” “The London Salon,” and “The Bluestocking Club.”
