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.

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.

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 A Civil Society written by James Smith Allen and published by . This book was released on 2022-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Civil Society explores the struggle to initiate women as full participants in the masonic brotherhood that shared in the rise of France's civil society and its "civic morality" on behalf of women's rights. As a vital component of the third sector during France's modernization, freemasonry empowered women in complex social networks, contributing to a more liberal republic, a more open society, and a more engaged public culture. James Smith Allen shows that although women initially met with stiff resistance, their induction into the brotherhood was a significant step in the development of French civil society and its "civic morality," including the promotion of women's rights in the late nineteenth century. Pulling together the many gendered facets of masonry, Allen draws from periodicals, memoirs, and archival material to account for the rise of women within the masonic brotherhood in the context of rapid historical change. Thanks to women's social networks and their attendant social capital, masonry came to play a leading role in French civil society and the rethinking of gender relations in the public sphere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and Power at the French Court, 1483--1563 explores the ways in which a range of women " as consorts, regents, mistresses, factional power players, attendants at court, or as objects of courtly patronage " wielded power in order to advance individual, familial, and factional agendas at the early sixteenth-century French court. Spring-boarding from the burgeoning scholarship of gender, the political, and power in early modern Europe, the collection provides a perspective from the French court, from the reigns of Charles VIII to Henri II, a time when the French court was a renowned center of culture and at which women played important roles. Crossdisciplinary in its perspectives, these essays by historians, art and literary scholars investigate the dynamic operations of gendered power in political acts, recognized status as queens and regents, ritualized behaviors such as gift-giving, educational coteries, and through social networking, literary and artistic patronage, female authorship, and epistolary strategies.
