Dancing Queen
Under glittering lights in the Louvre palace, the French court ballets danced by Queen Marie de M?dicis prior to Henri IV's assassination in 1610 attracted thousands of spectators ranging from pickpockets to ambassadors from across Europe. Drawing on newly discovered primary sources as well as theories and methodologies derived from literary studies, political history, musicology, dance studies, and women's and gender studies, Dancing Queen traces how Marie's ballets authorized her incipient political authority through innovative verbal and visual imagery, avant-garde musical developments, and ceremonial arrangements of objects and bodies in space. Making use of women's "semi-official" statu...

Antoine de la Sale
Un médiéviste pourrait sourire aujourd'hui encore de savoir qu'en 1970 Julia Kristeva donnait une lecture sémiologique de Jean de Saintré d'Antoine de La Sale, parce qu'il se serait agi du " premier roman français écrit en prose ". On verra combien cette approche était neuve et juste. Cependant ni " la valeur personnelle de l'auteur ", ni " l'importance esthétique de l'oeuvre " ne l'intéressaient. Tout au contraire, c'était " plutôt par leur anonymat, ou si l'on veut par leur " insignifiance " que ces écrits mérit[ai]ent notre attention comme lieu d'un changement structural ". De façon contradictoire, le présent ouvrage entend montrer combien les ...
Les Vingt et un Jours d’un neurasthénique (L'édition intégrale)
Ce livre numérique présente "Les Vingt et un Jours d’un neurasthénique (L'édition intégrale)" avec une table des matières dynamique et détaillée. Notre édition a été spécialement conçue pour votre tablette/liseuse et le texte a été relu et corrigé soigneusement. Les Vingt et un Jours d’un neurasthénique est un « roman » publié en 1901. Poursuivant sa déconstruction du genre romanesque, Mirbeau y juxtapose une cinquantaine de contes cruels parus dans la presse depuis quinze ans. Loin d’essayer de camoufler les coutures, il lie artificiellement les récits au moyen d’un terne narrateur, Georges Vasseur, qui fait une cure de trois semaines dans une ville d’eaux de...
Antoine Frédéric Ozanam
Raymond Sickinger’s biography of Antoine Frédéric Ozanam is more than a chronological account of Ozanam’s relatively brief but extraordinary life. It is also a comprehensive study of a man who touched many lives as a teacher, writer, and principal founder of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Ozanam’s life encompassed a particularly turbulent time in French history, and he was a witness to two major political upheavals—the overthrow of the Bourbon dynasty that brought Louis Philippe to power in 1830, and the end of Louis Philippe’s “Bourgeois Monarchy” as a result of the 1848 Revolutions. This book examines Ozanam’s life in a number of ways. First, it explores the various ...
Anglo-Papal Relations in the Early Fourteenth Century
Barbara Bombi examines diplomacy between England and the papal curia during the first phase of the Anglo-French conflict known as the Hundred Years' War (1305-1360), exploring the development of diplomatic systems, and how they were impacted by conflict and political change.
Rethinking France
Les Lieux de mémoire is perhaps one of the most profound historical documents on the history and culture of the French nation. Assembled by Pierre Nora during the Mitterand years, this multivolume series has been hailed as "a magnificent achievement" (The New Republic) and "the grandest, most ambitious effort to dissect, interpret and celebrate the French fascination with their own past" (The Los Angeles Times). Written during a time when French national identity was undergoing a pivotal change and the nation was struggling to define itself, this unprecedented series consists of essays by prominent historians and cultural commentators which take, as their points of departure, a lieu de mém...
