Quotes by Joan DeJean

“By then, [1737]...the French were taking advantage of the new "reading rooms" created by architects such as Blondel and of new seat furniture and had begun a practice we now call curling up with a good book.”
― Joan DeJean, The Age of Comfort: When Paris Discovered Casual—and the Modern Home Began
