In a series of interlocking essays (edited by Gabriel P. Weisberg) authors provide a historical context for changes in Montmartre while also providing useful study cases that focus on the cabarets and artistic community in Montmartre at the turn of the century. The origins of popular performance are suggested; ways in which new audiences were solicited are stressed in a number of the essays.
