The essays published in this volume cover many aspects of the history of Cluny from its foundation until the end of the twelfth century. Four of them are published here for the first time, and others appear in a revised form. The three articles on Cluny in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth centuries constitute a brief survey of Cluny at the height of its prestige and influence. Others, such as the articles on Cluny and the Investiture Controversy and the First Crusade, deal with the influence of Cluny outside its walls. Yet others are concerned with the relations between Cluny and other orders, between Cluny and its dependent houses, and between the abbey and town of Cluny. The remainder study the internal history of the abbey, the administration, legislation, and finances of the order, and its development and problems, especially in the twelfth century.
This invaluable resource by one of the world's leading experts in French cinema presents a coherent overview of French cinema in the 20th century and its place and function in French society. Each filmography includes 101 films listed chronologically (Volume 1: 1929–1939 and Volume 2: 1940–1958) and provides accessible points of entry into the remarkable world of 20th-century French cinema. All entries contain a list of cast members and characters, production details, an overview of the film's cultural and historical significance, and a critical summary of the film's plot and narrative structure. Each volume includes an appendix listing rewards earned and an extensive reference list for further reading and research. A third volume, covering the period 1958–1974, is forthcoming.

En 45 ans de carrière, et dans un champ élargi, Paul Bussières aura concouru, tant par ses réalisations que par son enseignement, à la qualité de l’expression théâtrale. Il en connaissait les différentes composantes pour y être intervenu à la fois comme comédien que comme designer de théâtre, métier qu’il a fini par exercer à l’exclusion de celui d’acteur. Son atelier et ses cartons, qui abondent en maquettes d’environnements scéniques et de costumes, ébauches principalement mises en œuvre dans les théâtres de Québec, font foi d’un accomplissement digne de mémoire. Créateur en 1967 du Département de scénographie du Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Québec, Paul Bussières, qui décédait dans cette ville en 2008, laisse en outre une importante descendance artistique.
