Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern France, 1789-1895 There is some difficulty in compressing into one volume the history of a century so rich in ideas, in events and in men as the present period has been in France. Such an effort at reduction necessitates the elimination of all that is picturesque in the facts to be related, leaving only their substance, and all attempt at giving any portrait of the personages whose acts are narrated in their results alone. It has struck me, however, that even so brief a summary may not be useless, since the principal characteristics of our century, which are now to be found scattered throughout various special histories, when brought together and united may furnish to the reader their own peculiar contingent of instruction. I shall not dwell on the nature of this instruction, but prefer to leave the facts to speak for themselves, rather than to suggest reflections which might be attributed to party-spirit. I owe to the reader also a few words on the method which I have endeavoured to follow, as well as on the general conception of the work.

Download or read book Music Discipline and Arms in Early Modern France written by Kate van Orden and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking new study, Kate van Orden examines noble education in the arts to show how music contributed to cultural and social transformation in early modern French society. She constructs a fresh account of music's importance in promoting the absolutism that the French monarchy would fully embrace under Louis XIV, uncovering many hitherto unpublished ballets and royal ceremonial performances. The great pressure on French noblemen to take up the life of the warrior gave rise to bellicose art forms such as sword dances and equestrian ballets. Far from being construed as effeminizing, such combinations of music and the martial arts were at once refined and masculine-a perfect way to display military prowess. The incursion of music into riding schools and infantry drills contributed materially to disciplinary order, enabling the larger and more effective armies of the seventeenth century. This book is a history of the development of these musical spheres and how they brought forth new cultural priorities of civility, military discipline, and political harmony. Music, Discipline, and Arms in Early Modern France effectively illustrates the seminal role music played in mediating between the cultural spheres of letters and arms.

Download or read book Ancient and Modern Democracy written by Wilfried Nippel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-11 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient and Modern Democracy is a comprehensive account of Athenian democracy as a subject of criticism, admiration and scholarly debate for 2,500 years, covering the features of Athenian democracy, its importance for the English, American and French revolutions and for the debates on democracy and political liberty from the nineteenth century to the present. Discussions were always in the context of contemporary constitutional problems. Time and again they made a connection with a long-established tradition, involving both dialogue with ancient sources and with earlier phases of the reception of Antiquity. They refer either to a common cultural legacy or to specific national traditions; they often involve a mixture of political and scholarly arguments. This book elucidates the complexity of considering and constructing systems of popular self-rule.

Download or read book Economic History of Europe written by Melvin M. Knight and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1930, this book is a detailed but lucid piece of historical writing which answers many questions about ancient and medieval history that are most important for understanding contemporary economic problems. The economic history of Europe in modern times is both the history of agriculture, industry and commerce of a continent over 5 centuries and the history of a series of changes in economic organization which have been dominant in making the modern world what it is. This book gives due weight to both of these aspects. As well as being an account of sequences of events, it is also an account of changing forms of economic activity, alterations of the economic structure of society and emerging economic problems in the 20th Century.
