Book The Constitutional Monarchy in France  1814 48

Download or read book The Constitutional Monarchy in France 1814 48 written by Pamela M. Pilbeam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians in France assume that the restoration of Monarchy after the defeat of Napoleon was doomed. The first compact recent history of the period in English, this book reveals that although the French experimented with two Monarchies and a Republic (1814 - 48), there was substantial stability. The Institutional framework constructed during the Revolutionary years (1789 - 1814) remained intact, and the ruling elites retained basic control.

Book The Story of France  1814 1914

Download or read book The Story of France 1814 1914 written by James Lyne Beaumont James and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of France, 1814-1914 Of all European history the history of France is, perhaps, the most brilliant. And since the inception of the Great Revolution that history partakes of the nature of epic. It reads rather like some wild, fantastic novel than the narrative of sober fact. Vet the period after the fall of Napoleon, full as it is of human -and even tragic-interest, has received very little attention from English writers. I therefore venture, in this day when England and France stand shoulder to shoulder and heart with heart in defence of the liberties of our own time and of all time, to offer a simple and consecutive account of the history of France during the tremendous century 1814-1914. At no period could the history of France be called dull, and least of all in the nineteenth century. Look for a moment at the constitutional changes in the first three-quarters of the century. France was tlirce times an Empire (1804-14, 1815, and 1852-70), twice a Constitutional Monarchy (1814 and 1815-30). once an Elective Monarchy (1830-48), and three times a Republic (previous to 1804, 1848-52, and after 1870). In all these changes England was intimately concerned, in war or peace. Louis-Philippe, Louis-Xapo-leon, and the statesmen of the twentieth century made friendship with England the keynote of their foreign policy.

Book Paris Between Empires

    Book Details:
  • Author : Philip Mansel
  • Publisher : St. Martin's Press
  • Release : 2014-03-25
  • ISBN : 146686690X
  • Pages : 794 pages

Download or read book Paris Between Empires written by Philip Mansel and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 794 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paris between 1814 and 1852 was the capital of Europe, a city of power and pleasure, a magnet for people of all nationalities that exerted an influence far beyond the reaches of France. Paris was the stage where the great conflicts of the age, between nationalism and cosmopolitanism, revolution and royalism, socialism and capitalism, atheism and Catholicism, were fought out before the audience of Europe. As Prince Metternich said: When Paris sneezes, Europe catches cold. Not since imperial Rome has one city so dominated European life. Paris Between Empires tells the story of this golden age, from the entry of the allies into Paris on March 31, 1814, after the defeat of Napoleon I, to the proclamation of his nephew Louis-Napoleon, as Napoleon III in the Hôtel de Ville on December 2, 1852. During those years, Paris, the seat of a new parliamentary government, was a truly cosmopolitan capital, home to Rossini, Heine, and Princess Lieven, as well as Berlioz, Chateaubriand, and Madame Recamier. Its salons were crowded with artisans and aristocrats from across Europe, attracted by the freedom from the political, social, and sexual restrictions that they endured at home. This was a time, too, of political turbulence and dynastic intrigue, of violence on the streets, and women manipulating men and events from their salons. In describing it Philip Mansel draws on the unpublished letters and diaries of some of the city's leading figures and of the foreigners who flocked there, among them Lady Holland, two British ambassadors, Lords Stuart de Rothesay and Normanby, and Charles de Flahaut, lover of Napoleon's step-daughter Queen Hortense. This fascinating book shows that the European ideal was as alive in the nineteenth century as it is today.

Book Revolutions  a Very Short Introduction

Download or read book Revolutions a Very Short Introduction written by Jack A. Goldstone and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the 20th and 21st century revolutions have become more urban, often less violent, but also more frequent and more transformative of the international order. Whether it is the revolutions against Communism in Eastern Europe and the USSR; the "color revolutions" across Asia, Europe and North Africa; or the religious revolutions in Iran, Afghanistan, and Syria; today's revolutions are quite different from those of the past. Modern theories of revolution have therefore replaced the older class-based theories with more varied, dynamic, and contingent models of social and political change. This new edition updates the history of revolutions, from Classical Greece and Rome to the Revolution of Dignity in the Ukraine, with attention to the changing types and outcomes of revolutionary struggles. It also presents the latest advances in the theory of revolutions, including the issues of revolutionary waves, revolutionary leadership, international influences, and the likelihood of revolutions to come. This volume provides a brief but comprehensive introduction to the nature of revolutions and their role in global history"--

Book Republicanism in Nineteenth Century France  1814   1871

Download or read book Republicanism in Nineteenth Century France 1814 1871 written by Pamela Pilbeam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1995-02-27 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a fascinating survey of nineteenth-century republicanism, the first of its kind this century. It investigates why it was that although France was one of the first countries in modern Europe to become a republic in 1792, it was nearly a hundred years before a republic was acceptable to the majority. Pamela Pilbeam suggests that republicanism was a witch's brew of Enlightenment rationality, bloody memories and conflicting socialist expectations. The book concludes that the successful republic of 1871 used the rhetoric of democracy to conceal persistent elitism.

  • Author : Munro Price
  • Publisher : Pan Macmillan
  • Release : 2010-12-10
  • ISBN : 033053937X
  • Pages : 500 pages

Download or read book The Perilous Crown written by Munro Price and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2010-12-10 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was it inevitable that France should become a republic? In this fascinating account of the period 1814-48, Munro Price attempts to answer this most difficult of questions. Using substantial unpublished research as he did in his celebrated The Fall of the French Monarchy, Price focuses on the amazing political machinations of Madame Adelaide, sister of King Louis Philippe. Though only mentioned rarely in other histories of the time, The French Revolutions shows how her intelligence and behind the scenes wrangling secured her brother the throne, thereby creating France's only long lasting experiment with a constitutional monarchy. Munro Price vividly brings the period alive with all its instability and political intrigue, while at the same time illuminating our understanding of a difficult and tumultuous time. The French Revolutions is an ambitious, exciting and masterful work of history that is sure to delight and inform for many years to come.

Book Friendship and Politics in Post Revolutionary France

Download or read book Friendship and Politics in Post Revolutionary France written by Sarah Horowitz and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Friendship and Politics in Post-Revolutionary France, Sarah Horowitz brings together the political and cultural history of post-revolutionary France to illuminate how French society responded to and recovered from the upheaval of the French Revolution. The Revolution led to a heightened sense of distrust and divided the nation along ideological lines. In the wake of the Terror, many began to express concerns about the atomization of French society. Friendship, though, was regarded as one bond that could restore trust and cohesion. Friends relied on each other to serve as confidants; men and women described friendship as a site of both pleasure and connection. Because trust and cohesion were necessary to the functioning of post-revolutionary parliamentary life, politicians turned to friends and ideas about friendship to create this solidarity. Relying on detailed analyses of politicians’ social networks, new tools arising from the digital humanities, and examinations of behind-the-scenes political transactions, Horowitz makes clear the connection between politics and emotions in the early nineteenth century, and she reevaluates the role of women in political life by showing the ways in which the personal was the political in the post-revolutionary era.

Book Parliament and Parliamentarism

Download or read book Parliament and Parliamentarism written by Pasi Ihalainen and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parliamentary theory, practices, discourses, and institutions constitute a distinctively European contribution to modern politics. Taking a broad historical perspective, this cross-disciplinary, innovative, and rigorous collection locates the essence of parliamentarism in four key aspects—deliberation, representation, responsibility, and sovereignty—and explores the different ways in which they have been contested, reshaped, and implemented in a series of representative national and regional case studies. As one of the first comparative studies in conceptual history, this volume focuses on debates about the nature of parliament and parliamentarism within and across different European countries, representative institutions, and genres of political discourse.
