The Soldier's Death in French Culture
The death of Marshal Jean Lannes at the Battle of Aspern-Essling in 1809 and its subsequent representation in official reports, memoirs and academic painting provides a case study in how the subject of the soldier's death remains a rich terrain for historical investigation. Studies by André Corvisier, John Keegan, Yuval Harari, Hervé Drévillon and George Mosse identify important dimensions of the topic. Analysis of the death of Lannes in the broa…

La bataille de Saint-Cast (Bretagne, 11 septembre 1758)
At first glance, the Battle of Saint-Cast might not appear to be a promising subject for historical investigation. A minor combat between French and British soldiers fought on a beach near St. Malo in Brittany in 1758, the battle was a small one even by the standards of the Seven Years’ War: an inconsequential engagement in a secondary theatre of conflict during a period of ‘limited’ warfare. Even locals, despite the column erected to celebrate t…
Minotaur
Taking Possession of Marianne
Situated at the frontier of the 3 rd , 10 th and 11 th arrondissements, the Place de la République is renowned as the location for the Morice brothers' statue to the Republic and as a site for left-wing demonstrations. The Morices' Marianne was slow to win the hearts of many left-wing politicians and workers. Upon occasion, the Place de la République became a battleground between demonstrators and police, but Marianne was not the subject of their…
Military justice under the Directory
The military justice records of the Armies of Italy and the Sambre and Meuse reveal that, despite their contrasting military fortunes during the campaigns of 1796–97, their experiences were very similar in many respects. The records of the conseils militaires of the year IV (1795–96) and the conseils de guerre of the following year reveal both conditions of service in the two armies and the circumstances and attitudes that regulated the relations…
Napoleon and Europe
Staging Battles
Prefiguring twentieth-century experiments, the French revolutionaries represented the war in which they were engaged after 1792 by staging military spectacles in the theatre and in civic festivals. Both plays and festivals were highly allegorical in nature, representing the war as a conflict between rival ideologies and providing stereotypical caricatures of enemy villains. Military plays won little acclaim from theatre critics, who objected to t…

Representations of the Republic at War
Although historians have tended to focus upon the battles of Valmy (20 September 1792) and Wattignies, (15-16 October 1793) as the decisive moments in the defence of republican France, contemporary politicians, journalists, poets, playwrights, and artists instead celebrated the sieges of Lille (29 September - 8 October 1792) and Toulon (27 August - 19 December 1793). Their representations of these two sieges provide a valuable insight into the wa…
