De Charcot à Charlot: Mises en scène du corps pathologique
De Charcot à Charlot : Mises en scène du corps pathologique, publié en anglais en 2001, est le premier livre à proposer une analogie entre le spectacle populaire et l'hystérie à l'hôpital dans le dernier tiers du XIXe siècle.

After placing texts by Nerval, Gautier, Mallarme, Huysmans and Rachilde within the context of the history …
