520    "Prostitutes, criminals, and the sordid, dangerous places 
       they inhabit have always been with us. Yet there has not 
       always been an "underworld," or what the French call "les 
       bas-fonds." This expression, which appeared in most 
       western languages in the 19th century, reveals a new way 
       of looking at these social ills and raises a key 
       historical question: why did the century that gave us 
       positivism, industry, democratization, and mass culture 
       name--and thus reframe--its view of its social margins? 
       This book explores this imaginary. It shows how the 
       underworld came into being in the shattered Europe of the 
       19th century, born of a tradition in which biblical 
       symbols-Sodom, Gomorrah, Babylon-intermingled with the 
       "bad poor" of Christian lore and images of modern roguery 
       like the Cour des Miracles. It decodes the construction of
       a worldview that has never ceased to fascinate us. For 
       while it connotes things that are real-poverty, crime, and
       transgressions of all sorts-the "underworld" also 
       constitutes an imaginary that expresses our fears, our 
       anxieties, our desires. In representing the nether regions
       of our society-its "accursed share" so to speak-it also 
       provides a route of symbolic and social escape. Although 
       many of its components still exist or have been readapted 
       to new contexts, the specific combination that arose in 
       connection with the 19th century underworld gradually 
       faded away in the 20th century. The welfare states 
       established in the wake of the Second World War left very 
       little room for it. And yet, while the contexts have 
       changed, both the debates on issues related to the 
       "underclass" and the images in contemporary cinema and 
       steampunk culture reveal that the shadow of the underworld
       still lurks all around us"--|cProvided by publisher
