Women and the Limits of Citizenship in the French Revolution: (Revised)
ISBN: 9780802068378 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The French masses overwhelmingly supported the Revolution in 1789. Economic hardship, hunger, and debt combined to put them solidly behind the leaders. But between the people's expectations and the politicians' interpretation of what was needed to construct a new state lay a vast chasm. Olwen H. Hufton explores the responses of two groups of working women - those in rural areas and those in Paris - to the revolution's aftermath. Women were denied citizenship in the new state, but they were not apolitical. In Paris, collective female activity promoted a controlled economy as women...

Labour, Science and Technology in France, 1500-1620
ISBN: 9780521893800 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this detailed study, Henry Heller challenges the dominant approach to the history of early modern France, that of the Annales school, with its emphasis on long-term economic and cultural forces. He reexamines the history of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries in France, and finds a surprising degree of economic, technological and scientific innovation. At the same time, he contests the view that the religious conflicts of the period ought only to be understood in strictly religious terms.

Neighbourhood and Community in Paris, 1740-1790
ISBN: 9780521522311 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the second half of the eighteenth century, Paris was the second largest city in Europe, with a population of some half a million. Contemporary writers described it as anonymous and chaotic, and so it must have seemed to many new arrivals from the provinces. Yet the records of the local police officials, which have remained virtually untouched for two hundred years, reveal a world which was far from anonymous, where most people went about their daily affairs in streets and shops where not only the places but also the faces were familiar. From the mass of individual disputes and incidents...

Louis XIV and the Origins of the Dutch War
ISBN: 9780521531344 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This stylish and highly entertaining account of the origins of the Franco-Dutch War of 1672 is based on massive archival researches covering twelve countries. Contrary to the accepted historical opinion that there was a meeting of minds within Louis XIV??'s conseil d???en haut over the desirability of the war, Professor Sonnino chronicles a story of bitter division, in the course of which the contrasting personalities of the king and of his most intimate advisors emerge in vivid detail. Racine once eulogized the war as a brilliantly executed venture which put the insolent Dutch in their...

Kingship and Favoritism in the Spain of Philip III, 1598-1621
ISBN: 9780521025324 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The reign of Philip III of Spain (1598SH1621) has been viewed traditionally as the age when Spain's world power started to wane. This book reappraises this interpretation and demonstrates that this period represented a realignment of Spanish power in world affairs. It also analyzes the career of the Duke of Lerma, Philip III's chief minister, the first of a series of European royal favorites (such as the Duke of Buckingham, Cardinal Richelieu, and the Count-Duke of Olivares) who influenced politics, court culture and the arts during the seventeenth century.

Religious Toleration and Social Change in Hamburg, 1529-1819
ISBN: 9780521528726 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The emergence of religious toleration was one of the main features of the development of Western society after the Reformation. While previous research has concentrated largely on ideas of toleration, this study of the Lutheran Imperial City of Hamburg analyses the way in which those ideas were received and gradually implemented. Hamburg was one of the most dynamic mercantile centres of early modern Europe. It attracted substantial numbers of Catholics, Calvinists and Jews. Dr Whaley examines the factors, which influenced the often uneasy relationship with the Lutheran majority. He...

Classes, Estates and Order in Early-Modern Brittany
ISBN: 9780521533140 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book uses the Breton experience to address two fundamental historiographical issues: the meaning of absolutism and the nature of early-modern French society. It abandons the old framework that opposed orders to classes, and instead seeks to find the central meaning of the evolution of the French state in the maintenance of order (especially the preservation of property). Professor Collins's main purpose, illustrated by his fusion of economic, social and institutional approaches, is to combine social and political/institutional history, so long separated in works on this field. Contrary...
