Edo and Paris: Urban Life and the State in the Early Modern Era
A book that will change the way we think about the relationship between city and nation, Edo and Paris offers a dazzling view of daily life and urban development in two early modern cities.In August 1590, Tokugawa Ieyasu marched into the drab little fishing village of Edo. Less than four years later and on the other side of the world, the newly crowned Henry IV fought his way into a Paris rife with disease and decay. By 1700, Paris had become the…
The Dynamite Club: How a Bombing in Fin-de-Siècle Paris Ignited the Age of Modern Terror
Distinguished historian John Merriman maintains that the Age of Modern Terror began in Paris on February 12, 1894, when anarchist Emile Henry set off a bomb in the Café Terminus, killing one and wounding twenty French citizens. The true story of the circumstances that led a young radical to commit a cold-blooded act of violence against innocent civilians makes for riveting reading, shedding new light on the terrorist mindset and on the subsequent…

Edo and Paris: Urban Life and the State in the Early Modern Era
The Margins of City Life: Explorations on the French Urban Frontier, 1815-1851
Unlike most historians of France, who draw a sharp contrast between cities and the countryside, John Merriman focuses on the spatial and social margins of urban life, the faubourgs, or suburbs, where rural migrants and the labouring poor of the cities congregated in growing numbers in the first half of the nineteenth century. In the eyes of the urban elite, the women and men of the periphery resembled barbarians at the gates of civilization. The …

French Cities in the Nineteenth Century
This book brings together some of the most significant and influential recent work in French urban history. The trend of historical thinking and research today, typified by such books as Montaillou, is to focus on the surviving demographic and socio-economic documentation of a given period or society as indicators of the changes undergone by the people of that time or place. Such is the direction of this important new study of the urban experienc…

The Norman Fires of 1830: Incendiaries and Fear in Rural France
While France's elite feared the consequences of political division in the spring of 1830, ordinary Frenchmen in western France feared fire. The fear of fire was endemic in Europe, even in the best of times. Houses, barns, stables, and even entire villages, particularly those with straw roofs, could go up in flames quickly-when lightning struck, when people were careless with fire, sometimes in extreme heat waves, or when people deliberately set t…
