Famous and seductive, female stage performers haunted French public life in the century before and after the Revolution. This pathbreaking study delineates the distinctive place of actresses, dancers, and singers within the French erotic and political imaginations.

The Industrial Revolution and Work in Nineteenth Century Europe
ISBN: 9780415070539 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Industrial Revolution is a central concept in conventional understandings of the modern world, and as such is a core topic on many history courses. It is therefore difficult for students to see it as anything other than an objective description of a crucial turning-point, yet a generation of social and labour history has revealed the inadequacies of the Industrial Revolution as a way of conceptualizing economic change. This book provides students with access to recent upheavals in scholarly debate by bringing a selection of previously published articles, by leading scholars and...

The Barristers of Toulouse in the Eighteenth Century (1740-1793)
ISBN: 9781421430362 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Following the vein of French historiography, many twentieth-century scholars of the French Revolution believed that the middle class of lawyers played a crucial role in the Revolution.

The Working People of Paris, 1871-1914
ISBN: 9781421430379 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Working People of Paris, 1871-1914, Lenard Berlanstein examines how technological advances, expanding industrialization, bureaucratization, and urban growth affected the lives of the working poor and near poor of one of the world's most influential cities during an era of intense social and cultural change. Berlanstein departs from other historians of the working classes in treating, in a parallel manner, not only craftsmen and factory laborers but also service workers and lower-level white-collar employees. Avoiding the fallacy of letting the city limits set the boundaries of an urban...
