Summary "The Knickerbocker, Vol. 57, No. 1, January 1861" by Various is a periodical publication written in the mid-19th century. This volume features a collection of essays, poetry, and observations that provide a look into the cultural and social life of the time, with a particular focus on Parisian life and its intricate relationships with history. The contributions reflect the observations and thoughts of the authors on various subjects, including art, social customs, and society's evolving norms. At the start of this issue, the opening article titled "Paris: And Life There" by H. T. Tuckerman explores the complex and vibrant nature of Parisian society. The author offers insights into how the daily lives of Parisians are intertwined with their historical context, comparing their lifestyle to that of Americans and the English. Tuckerman discusses the unique characteristics of living in Paris, such as the emphasis on social interaction outside of traditional family settings and the design of public spaces that foster a culture of leisure and enjoyment. The article delves into the nuances and contradictions of French society, highlighting themes of vanity, thrift, and the coexistence of high culture with everyday life.
