The Sound of Paris: An Environmental History of Noise in the City of Light
This article explores the sonic environment of the city of Paris over the longue durée and considers how certain sounds began to be perceived as ‘noise.’ It assesses how the city’s past habitus conditioned its residents’ way of listening and the evolution in the meanings attached to sound. It argues that perceptions of noise evolved from it being considered a ‘nuisance,’ to being a threat to public health, and finally to being a source of environ…

The Environmental Transformation of 'Empty Space: From Desert to Forest in the Landes of Southwestern France
This article explores the environmental transformation of the moorland (landes) of southwestern France from a much maligned 'wilderness' or 'empty space' to a forested landscape coveted for its productive potential as well as its aesthetic beauty. This occurred in two stages from the eighteenth century to the present and was effected by the French state and local landowners. It bears resemblance to processes of environmental change in North Ameri…
Martyn Lyons. The Pyrenees in the Modern Era: Reinventions of a Landscape, 1775–2012
In The Pyrenees in the Modern Era: Reinventions of a Landscape, 1775–2012, Martyn Lyons explores the ways in which the Pyrenean landscape has been imagined and represented by travelers, scientists, writers, mountaineers, tourists, anthropologists, pilgrims, and ecologists, who explored the mountainous terrain that separated France and Spain during a period that spanned two and a half centuries. It is therefore less about the Pyrenees than it is a…
The Gospel according to Renan: Reading, Writing, and Religion in Nineteenth-Century France
Robert Priest’s subtly argued The Gospel according to Renan focuses on the impact of Ernest Renan’s Vie de Jésus, which galvanized the French reading public from the date of its publication in 1863 to the early twentieth century. The book, which humanized the figure of the Messiah and therefore, in the minds of some, challenged claims of his divinity, served as a lightning rod for ongoing theological and political debates in which clerics, politi…

Natural Interests: The Contest over Environment in Modern France
Challenging the conventional trope that French environmentalism arose after WWII, Caroline Ford argues that a broad environmental consciousness emerged in France much earlier. In response to war, natural disasters, and imperialism, the bourgeoisie, along with politicians, engineers, naturalists, writers, and painters, took up environmental causes

The Battle for Publics Rights to Private Spaces on Sydney's Ocean Beaches, 1854–1920s
Free and unrestricted access to the coast is seen as a fundamental Australian right. However the concept that Australians have this 'right' to the beach is not inherent, but was constructed by groups demanding public coastal spaces in Sydney at a time when successive governments favoured private landowners. The campaigns for the resumption of Bondi and Bronte Beaches from private ownership in the 1860s marked the start of a battle for unrestricte…

A summer fling: The rise and fall of aquariums and fun parks on Sydney's ocean coast 1885–1920
‘A summer fling’ examines the brief period in which Sydney's most popular beaches were occupied by aquariums, merry-go-rounds, fun parks, giant slides and other sites of paid amusement. It seeks to understand the role amusement structures played in the formation of a beach culture in Sydney, which by the early twentieth century was developing independently of European and American influences. This paper therefore provides new insight into the his…
Peasants Into Frenchmen Thirty Years After
This essay provides an introduction to the articles by Laird Boswell, Stéphane Gerson, and Gilles Pécout in this forum, which is based on a one-day conference held at UCLA in December 2006, several months before the death of Eugen Weber. It gives a brief biographical sketch of Weber's life, the central themes of his scholarly work, and assesses his contribution as an historian to the field of French and modern European history
Reforestation, Landscape Conservation, and the Anxieties of Empire in French Colonial Algeria

Gazing, Strolling, Falling in Love Culture and Nature on the Beach in Nineteenth Century Sydney
In the twentieth century, the Australian beach came to be celebrated as a unique site of ‘Australianness’, with a culture which embraced surfers, surf lifesavers, sunbaking, and beach fashion. Despite the wealth of analysis of this ‘modern’ beach culture, the nineteenth century Australian beach has rarely been examined in depth. This article looks at different attitudes towards ‘culture’ and ‘nature’ on Sydney beaches in the nineteenth century, i…

Violence and the Sacred in Nineteenth-Century France
In a trenchant analysis of postrevolutionary religious conflict, Claude Langlois argues that the sectarian violence associated with the sixteenth-century Wars of Religion, the revolt of the Camisards, and the French Revolution largely disappeared in France during the nineteenth century. He attributes this decline both to the civil peace inaugurated by the Concordat and to the gradual displacement of religious violence by political and social As t…
