Félix Pyat, “Les Artistes,” Nouveau Tableau de Paris, 4 (1834), p. 7.
- The first usage of the term "Bohemian" (meaning, literally, "Gypsy") to refer to the disaffected and impoverished young artists and students of Paris has been traced to a popular French journalist and dramatist, Felix Pyat, who wrote a series of essays about "kids today" in a publication called Nouveau Tableau de Paris au XIX Siecle in 1834 [in “Les artistes”]. He described this personality type as "alien and bizarre ... outside the law, beyond the reaches of society ... they are the Bohemians of today." -- Levi Asher[1]
