英语词汇bohemian的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

bohemian. Bohemian was first used as a synonym for a gypsy or vagabond during the Middle Ages, people mistakenly be- lieving that the gypsy tribes entered the West via the ancient kingdom of Bohemia. Bohemian became synonymous with a poor writer or artist with French novelist Henri Murger’s sto- ries in Scènes de la vie de bohème (1848), his book providing the basis for Puccini’s opera La Bohème. The English novelist William Makepeace Thackeray made the word a synonym for a nonconforming artist in Vanity Fair (1848) when he wrote of his headstrong heroine Becky Sharp: “She was of a wild, roving nature, inherited from her father and mother, who were both Bohemian by taste and circumstance.”
