The Soldier’s Reward: Love and War in the Age of the French Revolution and Napoleon
Life in Revolutionary France
The New (Emotional) Regime
The fifteen months between April 1814 and June 1815 brought multiple regime changes, military defeat, and foreign occupation to France. This article examines this period of confusion through the lens of lived experience, using correspondence exchanged among a small circle of family and friends to consider how they reacted to events as they were happening. The author argues that these men and women used letters and the emotional expressions voiced…
The Cult of the Modern: Trans-Mediterranean France and the Construction of French Modernity
The Cult of the Modern revolves around an innovative research question: How did the obsession with modernity evolve into a political strategy during the Second Empire in both metropolitan France and French Algeria? The book demonstrates that similar concerns shaped debates on both sides of the Mediterranean, and that the theme of modernity lay at the heart of political debate. Murray-Miller argues that “modernization” and “colonization” were inte…
Deborah Gutermann-Jacquet, Les Équivoques du genre. Devenir homme et femme à l’âge romantique: Rennes, Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2012
On associe souvent le début du xixe siècle avec une crise de masculinité. Les guerres napoléoniennes une fois terminées, la floraison de littérature romantique laisse croire que les hommes de cette génération cherchaient en vain un modèle de masculinité convenant à leur époque et aux circonstances du moment. Ce beau livre, issu d’une thèse de doctorat soutenue à l’université Paris-VII en 2010, utilise une vaste et diverse collection de sources pu…
Generational Conflict in Revolutionary France: Widows, Inheritance Practices, and the "Victory" of Sons

Happy” Marriages in Early Nineteenth-Century France
This article uses familial correspondence to examine how bourgeois families conceived of marriage in the early nineteenth-century France. It argues that the companionate model of marriage, which was gaining influence during these years, did not replace the earlier model of the arranged marriage but rather was integrated into it. Marriages continued to be arranged by families but bourgeois couples also sought love and companionship in marriage. Th…

Judith Coffin, The Politics of Women's Work
Ce livre ambitieux, basé sur des recherches impressionnantes et poussées, représente une contribution importante à l’histoire des femmes et du travail en France. Les objectifs de l’auteur – démontrer les liens entre les évolutions dans le monde de travail, la division sexuelle du travail, et des différentes représentations du travail (p. 15) – sont certainement légitimes. Néanmoins, cet ouvrage est soit trop ambitieux soit ne l’est pas assez, car…
