Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De 1864 à 1880, la France connaît de profondes évolutions tant sur le plan intérieur - le second Empire laisse place à une République qui s'installe progressivement - , que sur le plan extérieur - le prestige de la France est affaibli par la question de l'unité allemande qui bouleverse l'équilibre des pouvoirs. La place particulière que tient la France, à la fois dans le concert des nations et dans l'actualité, ne peut laisser indifférente une Angleterre, fière de sa prééminence industrielle, commerciale et politique. La période retenue ne correspond pas à une époque particulièrement troublée dans les relations franco-anglaises. Pourtant, en Angleterre, les nombreux articles de presse, les archives parlementaires et diplomatiques, les correspondances des contemporains, les récits de voyages et les guides touristiques, montrent l'existence d'une opinion publique qui s'intéresse vivement aux choix politiques et culturels de la France. Mais les Victoriens, plus ou moins éclairés sur les spécificités de la culture française, ne réagissent que sur ce qui les surprend, et en fonction de leurs ambitions, de leurs craintes, et de leurs propres repères. Après avoir précisé les contours de cette opinion publique et les images qu'elle conserve des Français, après avoir observé ses réactions devant la politique extérieure et intérieure de la France, et considéré ses remarques lorsqu'elle vient dans l'hexagone, force est de constater que son regard reste vigilant. Elle dénonce les ambitions extérieures du second Empire, les atermoiements institutionnels de la République, le poids de l'Etat, ou l'importance donnée à l'égalité ; elle s'étonne des humeurs changeantes et soudaines des Français ; mais elle exprime, aussi, son attrait pour la beauté des paysages, ou pour la jovialité et la politesse des habitants. Si une méfiance demeure, les réactions témoignent de l'intérêt, de la fascination parfois, de l'étonnement toujours, que la France exerce sur l'opinion publique anglaise.

Download or read book Readers and Society in Nineteenth Century France written by M. Lyons and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-07-24 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century, the reading public expanded to embrace new categories of consumers, especially of cheap fiction. These new lower-class and female readers frightened liberals, Catholics and republicans alike. The study focuses on workers, women and peasants, and the ways in which their reading was constructed as a social and political problem, to analyse the fear of reading in nineteenth century France. The author presents a series of case-studies of actual readers, to examine their choices and their practices, and to evaluate how far they responded to (or subverted) attempts at cultural domination.

Download or read book Paris as Revolution written by Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nineteenth-century Paris, passionate involvement with revolution turned the city into an engrossing object of cultural speculation. For writers caught between an explosive past and a bewildering future, revolution offered a virtuoso metaphor by which the city could be known and a vital principle through which it could be portrayed. In this engaging book, Priscilla Ferguson locates the originality and modernity of nineteenth-century French literature in the intersection of the city with revolution. A cultural geography, Paris as Revolution "reads" the nineteenth-century city not in literary works alone but across a broad spectrum of urban icons and narratives. Ferguson moves easily between literary and cultural history and between semiotic and sociological analysis to underscore the movement and change that fueled the powerful narratives defining the century, the city, and their literature. In her understanding and reconstruction of the guidebooks of Mercier, Hugo, Vallès, and others, alongside the novels of Flaubert, Hugo, Vallès, and Zola, Ferguson reveals that these works are themselves revolutionary performances, ones that challenged the modernizing city even as they transcribed its emergence. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Napoleon III's motives for intervening in Mexico in the 1860s were consistent with his foreign policy, which was based on his belief that free trade was the best foundation for peace. He saw the establishment of a friendly government in Mexico as an opportunity to expand that policy to encompass the world by ensuring European access to American markets, and preventing monopoly by the United States. His attempts to achieve this, however, were thwarted by his representatives in Mexico and the suspicions of his neighbours.

Download or read book Painted Love written by Hollis Clayson and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2003-10-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engrossing book, Hollis Clayson provides the first description and analysis of French artistic interest in women prostitutes, examining how the subject was treated in the art of the 1870s and 1880s by such avant-garde painters as Cézanne, Degas, Manet, and Renoir, as well as by the academic and low-brow painters who were their contemporaries. Clayson not only illuminates the imagery of prostitution-with its contradictory connotations of disgust and fascination-but also tackles the issues and problems relevant to women and men in a patriarchal society. She discusses the conspicuous sexual commerce during this era and the resulting public panic about the deterioration of social life and civilized mores. She describes the system that evolved out of regulating prostitutes and the subsequent rise of clandestine prostitutes who escaped police regulation and who were condemned both for blurring social boundaries and for spreading sexual licentiousness among their moral and social superiors. Clayson argues that the subject of covert prostitution was especially attractive to vanguard painters because it exemplified the commercialization and the ambiguity of modern life.
