Napoléon, 1821-2021
France, Patrie, Nation
This article explores the conceptual changes and semantic shifts of ‘patrie’ and of nation from the Renaissance up to the French Revolution and the First Empire. It emphasises the causes and consequences of both concepts' occurrence and tries to discover their fundamental differences synchronically and diachronically. A brief comparison with other European countries allows us to understand that both concepts are not typically French and highlight…
Les Discours de La Terreur à L’époque Révolutionnaire (1776–1798)
Cet article propose une interprétation nouvelle du discours terroriste de la Révolution française et, comme telle, s’inscrit dans un débat majeur. Des interprétations récentes ont en effet mis en doute la proclamation par la Convention de la « Terreur à l’ordre du jour » du 5 septembre 1793. Pourtant l’expression a été utilisée maintes fois dans les mois suivants, si bien qu’elle est passée à la postérité comme marquant la période entière. Il s’a…
A Tale of Three Patriots in a Revolutionary World
This essay is about three trans-Atlantic patriots living during the Revolutionary era who were involved in the sale of American lands in Europe. Besides the problems caused by land speculation, these men confronted (directly or indirectly) revolutionary politics. The vagaries of commerce and politics presented everyday problems and illustrate how difficult it was for actors to fulfill their objectives. The topic permits an exploration of the natu…
The Netherlands in the constellation of the eighteenth-century Western revolutions
In the constellation of the eighteenth-century revolutions, the French events have always occupied a dominant position. Consequently the other European upheavals have been considered as being provoked or strongly influenced by France. Yet, the Dutch revolutions in the 1780s and 1790s provide some important nuances to this interpretation. Before the French took over the Bastille, there was already a Dutch revolution with devoted Patriots, speaking…

Les Assemblées des notables et les témoins étrangers de séjour à Paris (1786–1789)
What did foreigners think of the French problems in 1787? At that time, many diplomats and foreigners were in Paris and were following the discussions of the Assembly of Notables. That was Louis XVI's final attempt to put an end to his financial problems. It is interesting to see the diversity of the interpretations of these problems or the ideas about the solutions to be implemented in order to avoid national bankruptcy. It is equally interestin…
The Batavian Revolution
With the exception of Simon Schama's monograph on Dutch Patriots and French ‘Liberators’, the Batavian Revolution (1795–1806) has usually been interpreted as French-inspired and thus as ‘alien’ to the Netherlands. The original Dutch revolutionary achievements are underestimated as are those in the Patriot Revolution (1781–1787). In this article, both periods are investigated and (re)placed in the context of the contemporary revolutions in America…
La Révolution, une exception française ?
Voici des générations que les manuels d'histoire nous l'enseignent avec 1789: la France a balayé des siècles de despotisme et éclairé les nations du monde entier. La Révolution française, moment fondateur de l'histoire de notre pays, scellerait la naissance de l'Europe moderne. Et s'il était temps d'élargir le point de vue franco-français ? D'abord en reprenant le récit de cette décennie sans pareille, qui a vu la Révolution se déployer au-delà d…
Images de Napole ́on — un imperator en quête de le ́gitimite ́
Images should be released from the monopoly of art history and integrated into the study of history itself. For culture, in the strict sense of the term, is an essential aspect of political history, especially in a state as centralised as 18th- and 19th-century France. This is the context in which visual images of Napoleon should be explored. Under the Directory, he began shrewdly to exploit paintings and engravings in his first campaign to win o…
