The Civilising Offensive
"This volume offers a multifaceted selection of studies on 19th-century Belgian reformers and initiatives they instigated to solve the ‘social question’ by ‘civilising’ and moralising the lower classes. Around 1850 Belgium was continental Europe’s most heavily industrialised state. From the mid-century until the Belle Époque many international social reform associations were based in Belgium, as well as their main international actors. This book aims to place the history of social, moral and educational reform in Belgium during the long 19th century within a broader European perspective. This collection of contributions by both young and established scholars from various disciplinary backgrounds not only fills some gaps in Belgian historiography, but also offers a better understanding of broad epochal processes such as the bourgeois civilising offensive, the expansion of educational action and the historical growth of welfare states.

Centering on the n...

Krve po kolena-2.vyd.
„Byla bitva, byla, tam u Solferina, teklo tam krve moc, krve po kolena...," zpívalo se u nás před sto padesáti lety. Italská bojiště byla vždy místy, kam generálové z Vídně rádi posílali pluky a prapory z českého království. Válka v roce 1859, v níž se rozhodovalo o sjednocení Itálie, je toho dokladem.Komu co řekne například Magenta? Toto městečko, v němž nesl velkou tíhu bojů rakouský I. armádní sbor z Prahy, znají co do jména alespoň výtvarníci jako odborný termín pro barvu krve. Anebo Melegnano? Toto malé město bránil proti dvěma francouzským armádním sborům jediný pluk, a to z Písku. Ostatně „jedenáctý písecký“ měl v této ...
