	r the pavements of Paris there lies buried an ancient river\, the Bièvre. 
	For\nyears\, Lucy Frost has walked along these streets\, unaware of the wa
	ter and\nhistory under her feet\, on her way to clean the apartments of Pa

	 notebooks and papers\nof her great-aunt\, a teacher and researcher who di
	sappeared years earlier\, she\ncommits to continuing her aunt’s youthful r
	esearch on the Bièvre\, mining the\nriver’s documentary traces in the work
	s of Rousseau\, Rabelais\, Hugo\,\nChateaubriand\, and the like. She uncov
	ers a history of industry: paper mills\,\ndyeing workshops\, tanneries\, a
	nd textile manufacturers – and laundries.\n\nShe finds resonances of her o
	wn labour in the history of the river’s\nlaundresses. On stolen time at wo
	rk\, and in her insomniac hours of nightwriting\,\nshe fills notebooks wit
	h these woven stories and descriptions of obsolete sites\,\ntextiles\, cos
	mologies\, and voices\, constructing her own forms of relation with\nthe l

	f research and\nthe archive\, a politics of hydrology\, an ontology of age

	her aunt’s youthful research on the Bièvre, mining the river’s documentary
	 traces in the works of Rousseau, Rabelais, Hugo, Chateaubriand, and the l
	ike. She uncovers a history of industry: paper mills, dyeing workshops, ta
	nneries, and textile manufacturers – and laundries. </p> <p>She finds reso
	nances of her own labour in the history of the river’s laundresses. On sto
	len time at work, and in her insomniac hours of nightwriting, she fills no
	tebooks with these woven stories and descriptions of obsolete sites, texti
	les, cosmologies, and voices, constructing her own forms of relation with 
	the lost.</p> <p><em>Riverwork </em>unearths not just an urban river but a
	lso a philosophy of research and the archive, a politics of hydrology, an 
	ontology of ageing and belatedness, and a consideration of the unrepresent
	ed labour of women, past and present. Along the way it brings to life, in 
	pyrotechnic prose, a long-gone Paris and both its domestic workers and its
