Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weighing debates over reasons for the inclusion of apparently extraneous narratives in the 1678 novel by Comtesse Marie- Madelaine de Lafayette, the author presents her case that details on historical personages such as Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII, Henri II, and Catherine de Medici were intended to influence readers rather than convey "a sort of sentimental education for the heroine." She relies primarily on French language references, passages she excerpts and translates, the literary information base of early readers, and a 16th-century chronology.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le public ne connaît plus guère aujourd'hui cette princesse, qui fascina ses contemporains par son intelligence, sa redoutable causticité, et surtout sa tranquille audace de préférer sa propre cour à celle du Roi-Soleil, qui la suivit dans la tombe. Deux fois victime de la raison d'État, qui l'empêcha de régner sur l'Angleterre, elle se replia sur les ressources de sa culture et de son esprit, et grâce à son immense fortune, fit sa joie de contempler et juger la comédie humaine, au centre de laquelle sa haute naissance l'avait placée. Fondatrice de la presse privée, friande d'anecdotes et des dessous de la politique que lui fournissait un étonnant réseau d'informateurs, elle eût pu écrire sans relâche, sans cesser de nous intéresser. Mais dans un souci de qualité, elle préfère, cinquante ans après les événements, quand les passions et les acteurs se sont tus, se limiter à cette phase convulsive de son temps, la Fronde, où la monarchie faillit périr. Mieux sans doute que les grandes mondaines, que nous impose la littérature officielle, madame de Nemours (à ne pas confondre avec sa belle-mère, la tapageuse duchesse de Longueville, héroïne de la Fronde) nous offre le régal d'un langage féminin parvenu à son état de perfection.

Download or read book Poussin and France written by Todd Olson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicolas Poussin, perhaps the most famous French painter of the seventeenth century, lived and worked for many years in Rome. Yet he remained deeply engaged with cultural and political transformations occurring in France, argues Todd R Olson in this original exploration of Poussin's paintings, their production, and their reception. Poussin's references to ancient literature and sculpture addressed a political elite -- the Robe nobility -- whose humanist education in classical antiquity equipped them to relate Greek and Roman history to contemporary events and to deploy ancient precedents in legalistic and political arguments. When the French civil war known as the Fronde erupted in the middle of the seventeenth century, the paintings that Poussin exported to France responded directly in both subject and style to the crisis in monarchical authority and the disenfranchisement of his Robe patrons. Olson demonstrates that Poussin's association with a disgraced political group, his loss of official support, and his exile in Italy imbued his history paintings with a symbolic weight. The painter's audience considered the hardearned pleasures of his restrained, difficult pictorial style a benchmark of integrity as well as a criticism of the Regency's indiscriminate collecting practices and taste for foreign luxury. Poussin transformed the easel painting -- its making and collection -- into an expression of cultural and political commitments binding a community. Olson's fresh insights reveal the importance of this painter's work to a learned and powerful French constituency at a critical moment in French history and demonstrate that Poussin's famously timeless style was far more responsive tohistorical contingencies than has been previously recognized.

Download or read book The Dynastic State and the Army Under Louis XIV written by Guy Rowlands and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-08-29 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'personal rule' of Louis XIV witnessed a massive increase in the size of the French army and an apparent improvement in the quality of its officers, its men and the War Ministry. However, this is the first book to treat the French army under Louis XIV as a living political, social and economic organism, an institution which reflected the dynastic interests and personal concerns of the king and his privileged subjects. The book explains the development of the army between the end of Cardinal Mazarin's ministry and the outbreak of the War of the Spanish Succession, emphasising the awareness of Louis XIV and his ministers of the need to pay careful attention to the condition of the king's officers, and to take account of their military, political, social and cultural aspirations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the finest examples of European craftsmanship are the clocks produced for the luxury trade in the eighteenth century. The J. Paul Getty Museum is fortunate to have in its decorative arts collection twenty clocks dating from around 1680 to 1798: eighteen produced in France and two in Germany. They demonstrate the extraordinary workmanship that went into both the design and execution of the cases and the intricate movements by which the clocks operated. In this handsome volume, each clock is pictured and discussed in detail, and each movement diagrammed and described. In addition, biographies of the clockmakers and enamelers are included, as are indexes of the names of the makers, previous owners, and locations.
