    Writing and the Reinvention of Customary Law in Medieval France

    par Ada Maria Kuskowski ...
    Collections series Studies in Legal History

  • Before the Deluge

    Public Debt, Inequality, and the Intellectual Origins of the French Revolution

    par Michael Sonenscher ...
    Ever since the French Revolution, Madame de Pompadour's comment, "Après moi, le déluge" (after me, the deluge), has looked like a callous if accurate prophecy of the political cataclysms that began in 1789. But decades before the Bastille fell, French writers had used the phrase to describe a different kind of selfish recklessness--not toward the flood of revolution but, rather, toward the flood ...

  • The Virtues of Abandon

    An Anti-Individualist History of the French Enlightenment

    par Charly Coleman ...
    France in the eighteenth century glittered, but also seethed, with new goods and new ideas. In the halls of Versailles, the streets of Paris, and the soul of the Enlightenment itself, a vitriolic struggle was being waged over the question of ownership—of property, of position, even of personhood. Those who championed man's possession of material, spiritual, and existential goods faced the ... En savoir plus

The dramatic breakdown of the political settlement of 1789 steered the French state into the decidedly stormy waters of political terror and warfare on an almost global scale. This book explores how the symbolic and political practices which ... En savoir plus

  • Publishing The Prince

    History, Reading, and the Birth of Political Criticism

    par Jacob Soll ...
    Collections series Cultures Of Knowledge In The Early Modern World
    As new ideas arose during the Enlightenment, many political thinkers published their own versions of popular early modern "absolutist" texts and transformed them into manuals of political resistance. As a result, these works never achieved a fixed and stable edition. Publishing The Prince illustrates how Abraham-Nicolas Amelot de La Houssaye created the most popular late seventeenth- and ...
