Описание:
In the twenty years, commonly referred to as the Napoleonic period, it was not the flamboyant uniforms of the French cavalry that made the difference on the battlefields of Europe. It was, without doubt, the infantry that interpreted the joys of revolutionary values (the spirit of the volunteers, electoral democracy in ranks, the joy of victory) and also the pains that followed (compulsory conscription, forced marches, diseases and disabilities, and finally, the defeat of Waterloo). Without claiming to be an exhaustive work, the book synthesizes all the main passages concerning the French infantry units from 1792 to 1815 and celebrates some curiosities, not always known...

Описание: Using a wide range of student testimony and oral history, Georgina Brewis sets in international, comparative context a one-hundred year history of student voluntarism and social action at UK colleges and universities, including such causes as relief for victims of fascism in the 1930s and international development in the 1960s.
Описание: This book unveils the role of a hitherto unrecognized group of men who, long before the International Brigades made its name in the Spanish Civil War, also found reasons to fight under the Spanish flag. Their enemy was not fascism, but what could be at times an equally overbearing ideology: Napoleon's imperialism. Although small in number, British volunteers played a surprisingly influential role in the conduct of war operations, in politics, gender and social equality, in cultural life both in Britain and Spain and even in relation to emancipation movements in Latin America. Some became prisoners of war while a few served with guerrilla forces. Many of the works published about the Peninsular War in the last two decades have adopted an Anglocentric narrative, writing the Spanish forces out of victories, or have tended to present the war, not as much won by the allies, but lost by the French. This book takes a radically different approach by drawing on previously untapped archival sources to argue that victory was the outcome of a truly transnational effort.

Описание: In the 20th century, historians began arguing for new ways of doing history. This "new history" movement called for a total history open to exploring every human activity. Instead of concentrating on the great deeds of statesmen and generals, new history considered the views and experiences of ordinary people. Instead of limiting themselves to official documents, new historians examined a greater variety of evidence, collaborating with sociologists, anthropologists, economists, linguists, and psychologists. Instead of traditional narratives, new history examined structures. Instead of claiming objective truth, new history acknowledged the prejudices associated with color, creed, class or gender. In this newly revised and updated edition of The French Historical Revolution, renowned cultural historian Peter Burke provides a critical history of this movement most associated with the French journal Annales, from its foundation in 1929 to the present. From founding historians Lucien Febvre and Marc Bloch through the "new history" movement's best-known champions Jacques Le Goff and Fernand Braudel to current practitioners Roger Chartier and Serge Gruzinski, Burke traces and analyzes the contributions of one of the most important historical movements of the last century.
Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806) gilt heute als Hauptvertreter der franzosischen Revolutionsarchitektur. Sein vielgestaltiger Erfindungsreichtum griff die Architekturideale seiner Zeit auf und entwickelte daraus kuhne Utopien.
Dieses Buch stellt Ledoux‘ Bauten und Projekte in ihrer asthetischen wie historischen Bedeutung dar. An seinen Werken – die koniglichen Salinen von Arc-et-Senans, das Zollgebaude von Paris, die Idealstadt von Chaux – zeigt sich, wie diese Architektur aus der Antike und der Renaissance schopft, aber auch eine ganz eigene Formensprache findet.
Mit der Revolution war Ledoux‘ bauliches Schaffen beendet, da er den Zeitgenossen als Architekt des Konigs galt. Er widmete sich nun der theoretischen Arbeit und entfaltete seine Vision des modernen Architekten.
