Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La p riode du gouvernement de Pascal Paoli, notamment dans les ann es 1764-1769, est cruciale dans l'histoire de la Corse. L' le est alors, en effet, un enjeu politique de port e europ enne, car la domination de la r publique de G nes est en d clin, et Choiseul convoite ce nouveau territoire, de crainte que cette place strat gique ne tombe entre les mains du roi de Grande-Bretagne. James Boswell joua un r le fondamental dans la repr sentation litt raire de la Corse et la consolidation de la notori t de Pascal Paoli en tant que champion du patriotisme et de la libert . Influenc par l'admiration qu'il prouvait alors envers Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Boswell alla rencontrer le chef des rebelles insulaires. Son r cit de voyage, intitul An Account of Corsica (1768), fut un v ritable 'bestseller'. Avant ce r cit, la d finition de la Corse tenait en deux lignes dans l'Encyclop die de Paris. Apr s 1768, l'auteur de l'entr e 'Corse' dans l'Encyclop die d'Yverdon puise abondamment dans l'ouvrage de Boswell. Comme le dit Jean Vivi s, 'An Account of Corsica s'est ins r dans le savoir des Lumi res tel que l'exposent les diverses Encyclop dies' (SVEC 245, p.468). Le pr sent ouvrage tudie l' volution de la repr sentation litt raire de la Corse et de Paoli dans la premi re moiti du dix-huiti me si cle, en repla ant dans son contexte le voyage de Boswell, et les diverses impressions des visiteurs britanniques du bref pisode 'anglo-corse' des ann es 1794-1796; le lien qui relie les deux p riodes tant Pascal Paoli.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Personnage central de la Corse du XVIIIe siècle, Pascal Paoli a toute sa vie poursuivi un objectif, être le Principe nuovo, pour rétablir dans son île le statut() corso. Mais, il s'est trouvé confronté aux réalités de son temps : l'état de la société insulaire, ses dynamiques et ses pesanteurs ; le contexte international que, malgré son pragmatisme, il n'a pas pu gérer. Célébré par la "République des Lettres" en Europe et en Amérique, sa célébrité ambivalente nous renvoie aux combats des Lumières entre utopie et réforme : sa rupture avec la Convention et l'épisode du royaume anglo-corse éclairent le sens et le contenu de son combat depuis 1755."--Page 4 of cover.

Download or read book An Account of Corsica, the Journal of a Tour to That Island; and Memoirs of Pascal Paoli written by James Boswell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-12 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first complete reprint of Boswell's book on Corsica since the eighteenth century is enhanced by comprehensive annotation, textual apparatus, and a critical introduction. Boswell designed his text in two parts: first, an Account of Corsica, which gives a historical, political, socio-economic, and cultural overview of the Corsican people, and second, the Journal of his tour to see the Corsican leader Pascal Paoli in 1765. This edition, unlike so many reprints of just the Journal, allows the reader to appreciate Boswell's original design. The young and adventuresome Boswell wanted to write a book that would swing public opinion, and perhaps the British government, to support the Corsicans in their struggle for independence. He was well aware that his English readers had but the haziest ideas about Corsica gleaned from but snatches of news in the papers. The first part would therefore provide the context within which to understand and appreciate his account of his journey to and meeting with Paoli. The complete text also illustrates aspects of Boswell that have received less attention than they might, namely, his sense of history, his political enthusiasm for national liberty, and his scholarship. He brings to the book a solid foundation in the Classics and the law, a facility in French and Italian, and a sensitivity to writing that, as the notes show, is evident in the reworking of his manuscript. The editors' introduction and the extensive annotation point up Boswell the scholar--assiduous, sedulous to get at the relevant sources, careful to do justice to those he disagreed with, and open about seeking and acknowledging advice. The text reveals Boswell as a serious and independent thinker and a writer committed to Corsica's independence. What he argued for and presumed was about to be achieved is still a matter of debate in Corsica and metropolitan France.

This book was released on 1984-01-01T23:00:00+01:00 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre concerne du premier abord Pasquale de Paoli, ainsi que signait le « Père de la Patrie ». Sa correspondance méritait une étude systématique, qui mette en valeur toute son information sans exclusive. La personnalité du Général s'en dégage et, en même temps, ses relations avec tous ceux qui ont collaboré à son projet national. Cette élaboration d'un projet national au siècle des Lumières, est un chapitre important de l'Histoire corse et, à la fois, contribue à la connaissance de la pratique politique. La sociologie de l'État se trouve ainsi enrichie par une étude originale, historique. L'expression de l'homme à qui ont été confiés, d'emblée, les « commandes » de l'État, les intérêts de la Nation et la responsabilité des relations extérieures, ressort d'un traitement méthodologique exhaustif. Les hommes qui accompagnent Pasquale de Paoli et la durée, la qualité de leur attachement, l'appareil de l'État, nous surgissent dans toute leur réalité, de même que certains de ces adversaires, les relations avec la France sont insérés dans un ensemble cohérent. En fin de compte, l'ambition de ce livre est de mieux faire connaître la Corse, et sa situation vue à un moment crucial de son Histoire. Après avoir passé en revue - et pondéré - l'ensemble des correspondances, leurs rythmes, l'auteur s'intéresse aux interlocuteurs, à l'espace concerné, à l'appareil de l'État, au complexe dialogue avec les commis de l'État français.

Book excerpt: Né dans un hameau peuplé d'une centaine d'âmes, le Père de la patrie corse est mort dans la plus grande capitale européenne de son temps, Londres. Né en 1725, élevé à Naples, rentré pour moins de quinze ans de « pouvoir » (1755-1769), exilé en Angleterre jusqu'en 1790, revenu à Corte pour quatre ans, retourné à Londres de 1794 à sa mort en 1807, celui qui fut enterré à l'ombre de Westminster a vécu trente-deux ans en Corse, trente-quatre années en Angleterre, seize années de jeunesse italiennes et quelques semaines parisiennes. Corse de Corse, Paoli est aussi Corse de la diaspora, comme Sampiero Corso avant lui et Napoléon Bonaparte après lui. Paoli surprend, étonne, séduit, révolte parfois. Quel est-il ? Philosophe du siècle des Lumières ? Religieux comme son frère, tertiaire franciscain mort au couvent ? Franc-maçon précocement affilié à une loge italienne ? Ou tardivement affilié à une loge anglaise à Londres ? Humaniste ou soldat ? Homme de plume ou d'épée ? Homme d'action ou de réflexion ? Les sources sont si abondantes que la synthèse est malaisée et que l'on néglige presque toujours les trente premières années de sa vie, celles qui pourtant permettent de saisir (enracinement du personnage dans une terre, une tradition, une généalogie ; c'est l'un des apports décisifs de ce livre que d'évoquer la genèse de l'homme d'État et de lui redonner ainsi sa cohérence et sa vigueur. Cette première biographie exhaustive replace Paoli dans son contexte historique et rend le personnage passionnant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A visionary and a madman" was how one British statesman, Lord Carteret, described Theodore von Neuhoff. This exciting biography, Theodore von Neuhoff, King of Corsica: The Man behind the Legend by Julia Gasper, traces the unlikely career of the German baron who in 1736 had himself crowned the King of Corsica. Theodore von Neuhoff's career spanned the entire European continent and his role in the Corsican rebellion against Genoa was as bold and unconventional as everything else in his life. Mixing with royalty, rogues and rabble, he was successively a soldier, secret agent, Jacobite, speculator, alchemist, cabbalist, Rosicrucian, astrologer, fraudster, and spy. He had changed his name several times, abducted a nun and seen the inside of several prisons before turning his hand to revolution. Neuhoff had daring far-sighted ideas about religious tolerance and the abolition of slavery that turned the Corsican rebellion into a significant political event with repercussions way beyond the shores of one small island. Denounced as an arch-criminal, traitor and seditious heretic, he survived pursuit by the agents of the Genoese Republic for twenty years with a price on his head, dodging assassination attempts while meeting countless famous and fascinating people. Valuable to the British as a political tool against the French, he spent his old age in relative comfort in an English debtors' prison. Theodore von Neuhoff, King of Corsica argues that despite all his eccentricity Neuhoff was still a significant Enlightenment figure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the historiography on the age of democratic revolutions has seemed to come to a halt until recent years. Historians of this period have tried to develop new explanatory paradigms but there are few that have had a lasting impact. David A. Bell and Yair Mintzker seek to break through the narrow views of this period with research that reaches beyond the traditional geographical and chronological boundaries of the subject. Rethinking the Age of Revolutions brings together some of the most exciting and important research now being done on the French Revolutionary era, by prominent historians from North America and France. Adopting a variety of approaches, and tackling a wide variety of subjects, such as natural rights in the early modern world, the birth of celebrity culture and the phenomenon of modern political charisma, among others, this collection shows the continuing vitality and importance of the field. This is an important book not only for specialists, but for anyone interested in the origins of some of the most important issues in the politics and culture of the modern West.

Book excerpt: The first volume of a groundbreaking and innovative popular biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of history's most complex and charismatic leaders 'Remarkable ... a satisfying, psychologically convincing account of Napoleon's early years and ascent to power. Even-handed and authoritative, this fascinating and highly enjoyable book will be an eye opener even to those who think they know the subject well' Sunday Times 'We are clearly in the presence of what will be a monumental work ... meticulously researched and well-written' Andrew Roberts, Literary Review Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power was neither inevitable nor smooth; it was full of mistakes, wrong turns and pitfalls. During his formative years his identity was constantly shifting, his character ambiguous and his intentions often ill-defined. He was, however, highly ambitious, and it was this ruthless drive that advanced his career. This book examines the extraordinary evolution of Napoleon's character and the means by which at the age of thirty he became head of the most powerful country in Europe and skilfully fashioned the image of himself that laid the foundation of the legend that endures to this day.
