Women Art Critics in Nineteenth-Century France
Over the past years, studies have begun not only to identify the factors that impeded the full participation of women artists in French cultural life, such as women’s limited access to professional art education, but also to bring to light the considerable artistic accomplishments of women occluded by historians for over a century. A similar effort at historical revision has been under way for French women writers. Works of fiction that enjoyed many editions in the nineteenth-century receded from our field of vision for almost a century before being rediscovered and reissued during the last decades of the twentieth century. Such efforts have resulted in scholarship that has helped revise t...
Manifestations of Venus
Jews on trial concentrates on Inquisitorial activity during the period which historians have argued was the most active in the Inquisition's history: the first forty years of the tribunal in Modena, from 1598 to 1638, the year of the Jews' enclosure in the ghetto.Scholars have in the past tended to group trials of Jews and conversos in Italy together. This book emphasises the fundamental disparity in Inquisitorial procedure, as well as the evidence examined, and argues that this was especially true in Modena where the secular authority did not have the power during the period in question to reject, or even significantly monitor, Inquisitorial trial procedure. It draws upon the detailed testimony to be found in trial transcripts to analyse Jewish interaction with Christian society in an early modern community.This book will appeal to scholars of inquisitorial studies, social and cultural interaction in early modern Europe, Jewish Italian social history and anti-Semitism.
The Best Works of Balzac
The Best Works of Balzac compiles some of the most influential novels and short stories by the renowned French author Honoré de Balzac. Known for his realistic portrayal of French society in the early 19th century, Balzac's works are characterized by intricate character development, detailed descriptions of social structures, and a deep exploration of human nature. The collection includes masterpieces such as 'Eugénie Grandet' and 'Père Goriot', showcasing Balzac's keen observation of human behavior and his ability to capture the complexities of everyday life. Honoré de Balzac, a prolific writer and a prominent figure in French literature, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of the society around him. His commitment to portraying the realities of his time in a nuanced and compelling manner set him apart as a literary giant of his era. I highly recommend The Best Works of Balzac to readers interested in exploring the intricacies of human relationships, societal dynamics, and the impact of ambition and greed. Balzac's narratives provide a rich tapestry of emotions and motivations that continue to resonate with audiences today.
