At the end of 1852, Gerard de Nerval published Les Nuits d’octobre, where he experimented with a realism that is inseparable from fantasy. He also published Contes et Faceties where he combines the bousingot tale, fake news, and the folktale. As the Second Empire dawned, this bohemian style took on an aura of contestation.
