  1 For an extremely useful social history of the Bon Marché, see Michael Miller, The Bon Marché: Bourgeois Culture and the Department Store, 1869–1920 (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1981).

  2 Quoted by Henri Mitterand in Les Rougon-Macquart, ed. Henri Mitterand, iii (Paris: Gallimard, Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, 1964), 1679 (my translation).

  3 Walter Benjamin, Das Passagen-Werk, in Gesammelte Schriften, v (Frankfurt: Suhrkamp, 1982). For an excellent reconstruction-cum-commentary, see Susan Buck-Morss, The Dialectics of Seeing: Walter Benjamin and the Arcades Project (Cambridge, Mass.: The MIT Press, 1989). Marina Warner has characterized Benjamin as ‘this century’s most acute critic of public lies and the culture of illusion’ (Marina Warner, Monuments and Maidens: The Allegory of the Female Form (London: Picador, 1987 (1985), 144).

  4 Wolfgang Schivelbusch, The Railway Journey: The Industrialization of Time and Space in the 19th Century (Berkeley, Calif.: University of California Press, 1987 (1977)). See esp. the chapter entitled ‘Circulation’, 188–97.

  5 See ibid. 189.

  6 See Stephen Kern, The Culture of Time and Space, 1880–1918 (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1983) (‘Speed’, 109–30), and Paul Virilio, Vitesse et politique (Paris: Galilée, 1977).

  7 Michel Serres, Feux et signaux de brume: Zola (Paris: Grasset, 1975), 293 (my translation).

  8 See Brian Nelson, Zola and the Bourgeoisie (London: Macmillan, 1983), 30.

  10 Rachel Bowlby, Just Looking: Consumer Culture in Dreiser, Gissing and Zola (New York: Methuen, 1985).

  11 I am indebted to the following studies of women and urban experience: Elizabeth Wilson, ‘The Invisible Flâneur’, New Left Review, 191 (1992), 90–110; Janet Wolff, ‘The Invisible Flâneuse: Women and the Literature of Modernity’, in Feminine Sentences: Essays on Women and Culture (Cambridge: Polity Press, 1990), 34–50.

  12 Peter Brooks, Body Work: Objects of Desire in Modern Narrative (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1983), 154
.

  13 See e.g. Naomi Schor, ‘Devant le château: femmes, marchandises, et modernité dans Au Bonheur des Dames’, in Philippe Hamon and Jean-Pierre Leduc-Adine (eds.), Mimésis et sémiosis: littérature et représentation (Paris: Nathan, 1993), 179–86.

  14 Michelle Perrot (ed.), A History of Private Life, v: From the Fires of Revolution to the Great War (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1990), 121.
