Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this interpretation of the French Revolution, Professor Hunt argues that it gave birth to many essential characteristics of modern politics -- in particular, it marks the discovery of the potential of political action to consciously transform society by molding character, culture, and social relations. The author emphasizes the dynamic interaction between the socio-cultural and political, between the unconscious structures of symbolic forms and the collective actions of committed politicians."--Back cover

Download or read book The Bourgeois Citizen in Nineteenth Century France written by Carol E. Harrison and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bourgeois Citizen in Nineteenth-Century France analyses the process by which class society developed in post-revolutionary France. Focusing on bourgeois men and on their voluntary associations, Carol E. Harrison addresses the construction of class and gender identities. In their gentlemen's clubs, learned societies, musical groups, gardening clubs, and charitable associations, bourgeois Frenchmen defined a social order in which the atomized individuals of revolutionarly law could find places for themselves in reconstituted social groups and hierarchies. The practices of sociability reflected a bourgeois view of society as harmonious rather than torn by conflict. The potentially universal virtues of bourgeois masculinity provided a basis for a consensus that could protect social order from the destructive competitiveness of French political life and the industrializing economy. The sociable interaction of male citizens was the crucial bridge between the destruction of Frances's old regime and the development of a mature industrial class society.

Download or read book Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution Selected Letters and Papers 1776 1790 written by Le Marquis de Lafayette and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the fifth in a distinguished and admired series, includes correspondence with George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Henry Knox, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Patrick Henry, French foreign minister Vergennes, Spanish foreign minister Floridablanca, and Lafayette 's wife, Adrienne. The book opens with Lafayette's return to France after Yorktown to press the benefits of that victory. Displaying his role as Franklin 's "political aide-de-camp" in the diplomatic negotiations that culminated in the treaty of peace, the documents also give evidence of his personal mediation with members of the French government as well as with the King. The documents chronicling his tour of America in 1784 clearly show that Lafayette intended it to be more than a triumphal display. They reveal his desire to promote in the individual states as well as among the American people at large a sense of unity that would produce a stronger government and thus ensure the survival of those liberties for which Lafayette had been struggling. The volume ends with clear evidence that his interest did not wane with the close of the war but found renewed vigor in his determination to secure and extend those "rights of mankind" that he espoused.
