Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French Revolution in three volumes is a historical work by French historian Hippolyte Taine. This period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France began in 1789 with the fall of the Bastille and held the country in turbulence for the next decade. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, catalyzed violent periods of political turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship under Napoleon. Conceived by Taine with the aim of understanding the France of his day, his work achieved originality in its use of a long perspective to analyze the causes of the French Revolution. In particular, Taine denounced the artificiality of the revolution's political constructions (the excessively abstract and rational spirit of Robespierre, for example), which, in his mind, violently contradicted the natural and slow growth of the institutions of a State. For him, the force of history is such that it is illusory to want to change a society. Thus, following the defeat of Sedan and the Commune, Taine accuses the French Revolution of being the matrix of all evils which brought France into a cycle of decadence. It is in particular the abstraction of the philosophy of the Enlightenment which is rejected.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 3: A History by Thomas Carlyle "I find on a general view that the book is one of the savagest written for several centuries. It is a book written by a wild man, a man disunited from the fellowship of the world he lives in, looking King and beggar in the face with an indifference of brotherhood and an indifference of contempt." Such was the verdict passed by Thomas Carlyle on his own handiwork when he made its acquaintance once again in type. The words come quite naturally in his letter of February 17th, 1837, written to his brother John, whose advice he had taken as to several omissions and a more minute division of chapters; and they tally with those which he wrote to his mother a little earlier: "It is not altogether a bad book. For one thing I consider it to be the sincerest book this nation has got offered to it for a good few years, or is likely to get for a good few. And so I say to them: 'Good Christian people; there it is. Shriek over it, since ye will not shout over it. Trample it, and kick it, and use it all ways ye judge best. If ye can kill it and extinguish it, then in God's name do. If ye cannot, why then ye will not. My share in it is done.'"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 3: A History in Three Parts I. The Bastille; II. The Constitution; III. The Guillotine I Have been very largely indebted to the work and the personal kindness of friends in the compilation of this edition of Carlyle's French Revolution, particularly, however, to Mr. C. T. Atkinson, Fellow of Exeter College, who has contributed three invaluable appendices; to Mr. J. R. Moreton Macdonald, of Largie, who has contributed one appendix and revised all my notes; to Miss Eleanor Lodge, who assisted in the verification of the early references; to Mrs. Ellen Salmon, who not only opened the doors of the British Museum to me, but who has also carefully watched over the production of the whole book with the most motherly tenderness; most of all, however, to Professor Lodge, of Edinburgh University, who has contributed the most laborious of the appendices, and pointed out many errors in the notes; and to my Father, whose faultless taste in style, and whose natural literary instinct have made him my wisest critic. I send forth the book with much tremor as to the judgments likely to be passed upon the accents, the spelling, the punctuation and the omissions.

Download or read book Discovering Gilgamesh written by Vybarr Cregan-Reid and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1872, a young archaeologist at the British Museum made a tremendous discovery. While he was working his way through a Mesopotamian ‘slush pile’, George Smith, a self-taught expert in ancient languages, happened upon a Babylonian version of Noah’s Flood. His research suggested this ‘Deluge Tablet’ pre-dated the writing of Genesis by a millennium or more. Smith went on to translate what later became The Epic of Gilgamesh, perhaps the oldest and most complete work of literature from any culture. Against the backdrop of innovative readings of a range of paintings, novels, histories and photographs (by figures like Dickens, Eliot, James, Dyce, Turner, Macaulay and Carlyle), this book demonstrates the Gordian complexity of the Victorians’ relationship with history, while also seeking to highlight the Epic’s role in influencing models of time in late-Victorian geology. Discovering Gilgamesh will be of interest to readers, students and researchers in literary studies, Victorian studies, history, intellectual history, art history and archaeology.
