Book Synopsis Christie Seigneuries by : Françoise Noël
Download or read book Christie Seigneuries written by Françoise Noël and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1992 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Christie Seigneuries, Françoise Noël provides a detailed case study of the Christie Seigneuries in the Upper Richelieu Valley (in what is now Quebec) during the period from the French surrender to the British in 1760 to the commutation act of 1854 ending seigneurial tenure. While most seigneurial studies have focused on the censitaires, Noël examines the administrative practices of the seigneurs themselves. She reveals that management practices of seigneuries were influenced more by the personality of the seigneur and his family circumstances, as well as changing economic conditions, than by the judicial rights of the seigneur.

Book Synopsis The Patriots and the People by : Allan Greer
Download or read book The Patriots and the People written by Allan Greer and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lower Canadian Rebellion of 1837 has been called the most important event in pre-Confederation history. Previously, it has been explained as a response to economic distress or as the result of manipulation by middle-class politicians. Lord Durham believed it was an expression of racial conflict. The Patriots and the People is a fundamental reinterpretation of the Rebellion. Allan Greer argues that far being passive victims of events, the habitants were actively responding to democratic appeals because the language of popular sovereignty was in harmony with their experience and outlook. He finds that a certain form of popular republicanism, with roots deep in the French-Canadian past, drove the anti-government campaign. Institutions such as the militia and the parish played an important part in giving shape to the movement, and the customs of the maypole and charivari provided models for the collective actions against local representatives of the colonial regime. In looking closely into the actions, motives, and mentality of the rural plebeians who formed a majority of those involved in the insurrection, Allan Greer brings to light new causes for the revolutionary role of the normally peaceful French-Canadian peasant. By doing so he provides a social history with new dimensions.

Book Synopsis The Collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art by : Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
Download or read book The Collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art written by Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Showcasing one of the nation's finest collections of American art, this remarkable two-volume set features 267 exceptional paintings reproduced in full color and illuminated with never-before-published research findings. Works span American history from the colonial period through the close of World War II and are by many of the nation's best-known artists, including Mary Cassatt, Thomas Cole, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, and Georgia O'Keeffe. Pre-1900 subject strengths reside in portraiture with canvases by John Singleton Copley, John Singer Sargent, and Henry Ossawa Tanner; still lifes by John Peto and Severin Roesin; and landscapes from the brushes of Frederic Edwin Church, Martin Johnson Heade, Fitz Henry Lane, Thomas Moran, and others. Scenes and portraits by artists including John Steuart Curry, Robert Henri, Peter Hurd, Maurice Prendergast, and John Sloan provide honest, enduring assessments of early 20th-century American life. A stunning sample of early Modernism is seen in important canvasses by Albert Bloch, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, and Marsen Hartley, to name a few. Volume 1 includes 140 extended essays on the most important canvases in the collection, which are represented in full-page color reproductions. Volume 2 reproduces in color all the works in the collection and is accompanied by thorough technical notes based on recent object examination, complete provenance, listings of directly related works, and exhaustive exhibition and publication histories. American Paintings is an outstanding resource and a beautifully illustrated record of our country's history and culture.

Book Synopsis The Fortifications of Île Aux Noix by : André Charbonneau
Download or read book The Fortifications of Île Aux Noix written by André Charbonneau and published by National Historic Sites, Parks Canada. This book was released on 1994 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the various phases in the development of Ile aux Noix's defensive role, this document has adopted a chronological division for the order of chapters. Thus, roughly speaking, the first three coincide with the main conflicts in which Ile aux Noix played a preponderant role: the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence and the War of 1812. The three following chapters are more particularly concerned with Fort Lennox, which in a way was the end point of the island's defensive installations. After an assessment of the defensive situation which led to the construction of the fort, a complete chapter is devoted to its detailed technical analysis. Thus, space is given to the technical assessment of the fortification, and the implications for its defensive role are given particular attention. Chapter six analyses the last occasions on which thought was given to Ile aux Noix's defensive purpose and the modifications that this thinking produced.
