She Has Lived Her Life as She Pleased”
This article explores four case studies of women on France's extreme right, 1935–1945, to elucidate their agency, in terms of political activism and sexuality. We contend that, just as did women on the left, including in the Resistance, they profited from the liminal space the political disruptions the election of the Popular Front in 1936, and the war and Occupation created to engage in behavior normally deemed transgressive in their culture. Th…
Chris Millington. Fighting for France
What place does political violence have in democratic society? This is the question Chris Millington seeks to answer in his thought-provoking Fighting for France: Violence in Interwar French Politics. While only a little over one hundred people died as a result of political violence in the 1920s and 1930s in France, Millington does not let this small number dissuade him from exploring the meaning of violence in interwar culture, thus rejecting Se…
Creating a Holocaust Landscape on the Streets of Paris
On October 3, 1941 the French right-wing Mouvement Social Révolutionnaire (MSR) bombed six synagogues and one Jewish prayer house in Paris. The only scholarship addressing this “Nuit Bleue” focuses on the Nazi Security and Police Service, who provided the explosives but neither planned nor executed the attacks. Below, the authors restore memory of the bombings and re-establish French agency and culpability. They also explore Jewish reaction and r…
Robert J. Knecht. Hero or Tyrant? Henry III, King of France, 1574–89
Henry III was the most vilified of all French early modern monarchs, but he has now found a more impartial biographer in Robert J. Knecht, author of numerous monographs on Renaissance courts, kingship, and more recently the French Wars of Religion. Knecht crafts a judicious account of the king’s life while allowing the reader to come to his or her own conclusions about this complex last Valois king by entitling the book, “Hero or Tyrant?” a quest…
Health, Medicine, and the Sea
Katherine Foxhall's book exploring the practice of nineteenth-century medicine at sea is a brilliant piece of scholarship in both its critical content and evocative structure. Foxhall uses surgeons' journals and passengers' diaries written en route from Britain and Ireland to the Australian colonies to explore maritime health aboard ship, medical experimentation at sea, and the transformation of voyagers into colonists on arrival at their destina…
