Ordinary Writings, Personal Narratives: Writing Practices in 19th and Early 20th-Century Europe
ISBN: 9783039112357 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Historians have often assumed that the lives of the poor and illiterate can never be known because they have left little written record of their existence. The voices of the uneducated are there, however, and their written traces can be deciphered, if we take the trouble to look for them. This book will establish some of the main themes and frontiers of a new field of historical study: that of ordinary writings, (or ecritures ordinaries) the improvised and often ephemeral writings of the poor, the young and the hitherto silent people of history.

ISBN: 9781107018891 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) As war and mass emigration across oceans increased the distances between ordinary people in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many of them, previously barely literate and unaccustomed to writing, began to communicate on paper.

Focusing on correspondence and other writing genres produced by French and Italian soldiers in the trenches in the First World War, as well as...

France Under the Directory
ISBN: 9780521099509 / Angielski / Miękka / 1975 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) On 9 thermidor Year 2, Robespierre fell; on18 brumaire Year 8, a coup d'etat brought Bonaparte to power. This book demonstrates that the interval between these two momentous events was also of crucial importance. Using the findings of recent research, it presents a balanced appraisal of the thermidorean and directorial regimes to the English student. For Jacobin sympathizers thermidor and the Directory represented the betrayal of the revolutionary idea; for Bonapartist propagandists it represented chaos and corruption, and the darker the Directory could be painted, the more Bonaparte's...

The Pyrenees in the Modern Era: Reinventions of a Landscape, 1775-2012
ISBN: 9781350024786 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This original study examines different incarnations of the Pyrenees, beginning with the assumptions of 18th-century geologists, who treated the mountains like a laboratory, and romantic 19th-century tourists and habitues of the spa resorts, who went in search of the picturesque and the sublime. The book analyses the individual visions of the heroic Pyrenees which in turn fascinated 19th-century mountaineers and the racing cyclists of the early Tour de France. Martyn Lyons also investigates the role of the Pyrenees during the Second World War as an escape route from Nazi-occupied...

Martyn Lyons re-assesses European history between the fall of Napoleon and the Crimean War. Refusing to characterize the period as a "Restoration."

Napoleon Bonaparte and the Legacy of the French Revolution
ISBN: 9780333572917 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Napoleonic period cannot be interpreted as a single historical 'block'. Bonaparte had many different persona: the Jacobin, the Republican, the reformer of the Consulate, the consolidator of the Empire and the 'liberal' of the Hundred Days. The emphasis here will be on Napoleon as the heir and executor of the French Revolution, rather than on his role as the liquidator of revolutionary ideals. Napoleon will be seen as part of the Revolution, preserving its social gains, and consecrating the triumph of the bourgeoisie. The book will steer away from the personal and heroic interpretation of...

Between about 1830 and the outbreak of the First World War, print culture, reading, and writing transformed cultural life in Western Europe in many significant ways. Book production and consumption increased dramatically, and practices such as letter- and diary-writing were widespread. This study demonstrates the importance of the nineteenth century in French cultural change and illustrates the changing priorities and concerns of l'histoire du livre since the 1970s. From the 1830s on, book production experienced an industrial revolution which led to the emergence of a mass...
