Study on the various manifestations and social significance in art, literature, society, and politics of the popular 19th century French icon, "M. Mayeux", the imaginary hunchback dwarf, who became a symbol and voice for the lower class population during the July Monarchy. Menon further discusses how adaptations of the Mayeux "type", both as critic and scapegoat, by various artists, authors, and media were used for purposes of education, rebellion, and entertainment.
