Depuis 1985, Benjamin Bardy a publié quelque 300 histoires lozériennes dans les éditions dominicales de Midi Libre. Dans ce nouvel ouvrage, il a rassemblé les plus émouvantes et les plus savoureuses d'entre elles. Autant de petits faits et de grands moments, tragiques ou comiques, officiels ou familiaux, qui s'articulent autour de personnages centraux incontournables et éternels, comme la guerre, l'hiver et l'impôt, mais aussi comme Dieu, l'eau et la fête... Et, à travers les articles d'une presse d'époque, qui constitue le plus fidèle reflet du sentiment du peuple, c'est la Grande Histoire qui transparaît en filigrane... Un livre qui concilie érudition et sensibilité, et qui privilégie l'autre histoire de la Lozère : l'Histoire tissée par les hommes, l'Histoire enracinée dans leur terre.
A study of French rural society during an age of revolutionary experimentation with democratic institutions.
This book examines the interface between the old and the new France in the period 1760–1820. It adopts an unusual 'comparative micro-historical' approach in order to illuminate the manner in which country dwellers cut themselves loose from the congeries of local societies that made up the Ancien Régime, and attached themselves to the wider polity of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic state. The apprehensions and ambitions of six groups of villagers located in different parts of the kingdom are explored in close-up across the span of a single adult lifetime. Contrasting experiences form a large part of the analysis, but the story is ultimately one of fusion around a set of values that no individual villager could possibly have anticipated, whether in 1750 or 1789. The book is at once an institutional, a social and a political history of life in the village in an epoch of momentous change.
Continuing where William Beik's pathbreaking seventeenth-century study ends, this book sheds new light on the origins of the French Revolution and the social and political developments thereafter.
