Voltaire Et l\'?criture de l\'Histoire: Un Enjeu Politique
ISBN: 9780729410403 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bien qu’il participe à une redéfinition de la pratique historiographique à l’Age classique, on s’est peu interrogé sur l’art de ‘Voltaire l’historien’, et on a souvent résumé sa conception de l’histoire et de la politique au rôle majeur joué par les ‘grands hommes’. Il s’agit ici de mettre à l’épreuve une telle conception, et de faire valoir la complexité de la lecture voltairienne de l’histoire. M. Méricam-Bourdet découvre et examine dans les écrits historiques de Voltaire une vision réfléchie du pouvoir et des enjeux du politique, bien que...

The Profession of Sculpture in the Paris 'Académie'
ISBN: 9780729410793 / Angielski / Miękka / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The profession of sculpture was transformed during the eighteenth century as the creation and appreciation of art became increasingly associated with social interaction. Central to this transformation was the esteemed yet controversial body, the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture. In this richly illustrated book, Tomas Macsotay focuses on the sculptor’s life at the Académie, analysing the protocols that dictated the production of academic art. Arguing that these procedures were modelled on the artist’s study journey to Rome, Macsotay discusses the close links between working...

Theatre and the Novel, from Behn to Fielding
ISBN: 9780729411653 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ever since Ian Watt’s The Rise of the novel (1957), many critics have argued that a constitutive element of the early ‘novel’ is its embrace of realism. Anne F. Widmayer contends, however, that Restoration and early eighteenth-century prose narratives employ techniques that distance the reading audience from an illusion of reality; irony, hypocrisy, and characters who are knowingly acting for an audience are privileged, highlighting the artificial and false in fictional works. Focusing on the works of four celebrated playwright-novelists, Widmayer explores how the increased...

Enlightenment Spain and the 'Encyclopédie Méthodique'
ISBN: 9780729411707 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What did Europe owe Spain in the eighteenth century? This infamous question, posed by Nicolas Masson de Morvilliers in the Encyclopédie méthodique, caused an international uproar at the height of the Enlightenment. His polemical article ‘Espagne’, with its tabloid-like prose, resonated with a French-reading public that blamed the Spanish Empire for France’s eroding economy. Spain was outraged, and responded by publishing its own translation-rebuttal, the article ‘España’ penned by Julián de Velasco for the Spanish Encyclopedia metódica. In this volume, the original French and...

Casanova: Enlightenment Philosopher
ISBN: 9780729411844 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The stereotype of Casanova as a promiscuous and unscrupulous lover has been so pervasive that generations of historians have failed to take serious account of his philosophical legacy. This has recently changed, however, as the publication of the definitive edition of his memoirs and the majority of his longer treatises has heralded a surge of interest in the writer. This book constitutes an interpretive turn in Casanova studies in which the author is positioned as a highly perceptive and engaged observer of the Enlightenment. Drawing primarily on Casanova’s large body of manuscripts and...

Catherine the Great and the Culture of Celebrity in the Eighteenth Century
ISBN: 9781350244665 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This highly original study provides a detailed analysis of Catherine the Great’s celebrity avant la lettre and how gender, power, and scandal made it commercially successful. In 1762, when Catherine II overthrew her husband to seize the throne of the Russian Empire, her instant popular fame in regions of Europe far from her own domains fit the still new discourse of modern celebrity and soon helped shape it. Catherine the Great and Celebrity Culture in Eighteenth-Century Europe shows that over the next 35 years Catherine was part of a standard troika of celebrity-making agents—intriguing...
