PART I: THEORY OF THE PARVENU -- The Paradox of the Parvenu -- The Uses if Parody -- The Jew: the Parvenu of Parvenus -- Between Pariah and Parvenu -- PART II: SARTORIAL STORIES: AT THE FRINGES OF THE SOCIAL SPHERE -- On Ostentation: The Sartorial Metaphor -- The Parvenu's Livery -- Emilie de Fontaine's Sartorial Crusade -- PART III: THE POETICS OF IDENTITY -- The 'Mourning of Origins' -- PART IV: THE FICTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENT -- On Kinship -- The Family Parasite -- Ideal and Real Bride: The Newcomer's Family Fantasy -- The End of Exogamy -- PART V: TOPOGRAPHY OF CONTEST -- Topography and Mobility -- The 'Imaginary Museum' -- PART VI: A STRANGE BESTIARY: ALTERITY AND THE QUESTION OF HUMANITY -- The Question of Humanity -- Half-Peacock, Half Vulture: The Portrait of the Parvenu and the Financier as Animal -- The Metaphor Literalized: Toussenel's Bestiary -- The Human Question, Again.

"Rising from humble origins to a position of preeminence, galvanized by the possibilities for financial gains made possible by the 'age of capital,' multitudes of social climbers appeared, 'on the make,' bent on conquering society's upper reaches by whatever means available. Yet making it is not the same as fitting in: an emblematic figure of the 'bourgeois century', the parvenu represents the Other on which a society depends. This drama of exclusion is symptomatic of nineteenth-century society as a whole -- ambivalent about social mobility and the meaning of social advancement, oscillating between a new sense of opportunity for all and a backward-looking retrenchment to rigid social structures. The parvenu allows us to decipher a culture and its prejudices, its fears and its difficulty in negotiating the advent of modernity"--
