Book excerpt: The dawn of the French Revolution brought forth a cataclysmic storm that raged across the nation, shaking its foundations to their core. What most people didn't realize, and still don't realize until this day, is the fact that there were regions in France that were not all too pleased with the fact that the French Revolution effectively brought an end to the Ancien Régime, which was what the 'powers that be' were called in France at the time until the bourgeoisie (middle class) stepped in and changed everything. The French Revolution can be considered to be one of the most consuming blazes that tore through the fabric of not only French, but also European Society, challenging traditions, values, and beliefs. In the midst of this turmoil, from the ashes of a crumbling monarchy, emerged a new era, promising liberty, equality, and fraternity. Yet, within the revolutionary fervor that swept through France, there lay a darkness that threatened to engulf the very soul of the nation. Amidst the chaos and fervent cries for change, a sinister cloud loomed over a small region, the idyllic region of Vendée. Nestled in the western part of France with its lush green landscapes and picturesque villages Vendée, seeming worlds away from the revolutionary fervor that gripped Paris, became the stage for a harrowing battle that pitted brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor. It was a clash that would forever be etched in the annals of history as the War in Vendée, an epic struggle fought between the forces of the Revolution and the steadfast defenders of their faith. Sad that, as the winds of change blew across the land, even this tranquil haven could not escape the tendrils of conflict. "The Cross and the Guillotine" unravels the distressing tale of Vendée, a gripping tale of this forgotten war within a region torn between tradition and revolution, faith and intention, loyalty and rebellion, where principles clashed, loyalties were tested, and the very soul of a nation hung in the balance. Against the backdrop of an impending war, it transports us to a time when the guillotine loomed ominously over the French people, its blade thirsty for the blood of those deemed enemies of the Revolution. But amidst the chaos and violence, a group of devout Catholics, known as the Chouans, rallied under the sacred symbol of the cross, resisting the revolutionary tide that sought to drown their belief.

Book Synopsis Civil War and the Collapse of the Social Bond by : Michèle Lowrie
Download or read book Civil War and the Collapse of the Social Bond written by Michèle Lowrie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-13 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can civil war ever be overcome? Can a better order come into being? This book explores how the Roman civil wars of the first century BCE laid the template for addressing perennially urgent questions. The Roman Republic's collapse and Augustus' new Empire have remained ideological battlegrounds to this day. Integrative and disintegrative readings begun in antiquity (Vergil and Lucan) have left their mark on answers given by Christians (Augustine), secular republicans (Victor Hugo), and disillusioned satirists (Michel Houellebecq) alike. France's self-understanding as a new Rome – republican during the Revolution, imperial under successive Napoleons – makes it a special case in the Roman tradition. The same story returns repeatedly. A golden age of restoration glimmers on the horizon, but comes in the guise of a decadent, oriental empire that reintroduces and exposes everything already wrong under the defunct republic. Central to the price of social order is patriarchy's need to subjugate women.

Book Synopsis Signs for the Times by : Chris Brooks
Download or read book Signs for the Times written by Chris Brooks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1984. Signs for the Times explores imaginative and creative relationships between three major areas of mid-Victorian arts: literature, painting and architecture. Through the detailed critical analysis of particular novels, prose writings, paintings and buildings, Chris Brooks establishes a fusion of realistic and symbolic values that he sees as central to the Victorian creative imagination. He argues that the creative achievement of the mid-nineteenth century needs to be seen far more as a whole than it has previously, and that fundamental imaginative terms are common to art and architecture, to major theoretical writers such as Carlyle, Ruskin and Rugin as well as to the central literary figure of Dickens. All those interested in literature, art, or architecture will welcome this interpretation of symbolic realism within the mid-Victorian world.
