Soldiers of God in a Secular World: Catholic Theology and Twentieth-Century French Politics
A Note from the Editors
In August 2022 we handed over the editorship of French Historical Studies to its ninth team in its sixty-five-year history. Christine Haynes (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) and Jennifer Heuer (University of Massachusetts Amherst) have taken the helm, bringing new expertise and energy to FHS. They will benefit from the experience of our managing editor, Laura Foxworth, and from the excellent staff at Duke University Press, especially t…

Conversion in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction: Alphonse Ratisbonne in Rome and Paris
Enchanted Islands: Picturing the Allure of Conquest in Eighteenth-Century France
The enchanted islands of Mary Sheriff’s title are an ‘archipelago’ of ‘real and fictive islands charmed in a particular way’ that allow her to examine representations of gender and sovereignty in Old Regime France. These islands are ‘the domain of beguiling women who captivate men through both literal and figurative enchantments’. Their male visitors, in turn, enjoy being seduced. Ultimately, however, on these enchanted islands, bewitchment does …

Piotr H. Kosicki. Catholics on the Barricades: Poland, France, and “Revolution,” 1891–1956
With Catholics on the Barricades: Poland, France, and “Revolution,” 1891–1956, an impressively researched account of French and Polish Catholic intellectuals facing Nazism and communism, Piotr H. Kosicki adds to a growing body of scholarship challenging the assumption that the Catholic Church was modernity’s reflexive opponent. What scholars of earlier generations found most suspicious about Catholicism—its indifference or antagonism to the natio…

Being Christian In Late Antiquity A Festschrift For Gillian Clark
"What do we mean when we talk about 'being Christian' in Late Antiquity? This volume brings together sixteen world-leading scholars of ancient Judaism, Christianity and Greco-Roman culture and society to explore this question, in honour of the ground-breaking scholarship of Professor Gillian Clark. After an introduction to the volume's dedicatee and themes by Averil Cameron, the papers in Section I, `Being Christian through Reading, Writing and H…
Precedence and Posterity: Patterns of Publishing from French Scientific Expeditions to the Pacific (1785-1840)
Publication precedence was as important to scientific endeavours in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century as it is today. Our study of publication patterns from French scientific expeditions to the Pacific (1785-1840) reveals significant changes to the way in which science was conducted and the levels of control different contributors retained over the resulting publications. Early voyages were characterized by the presence of civilian…
Planting Gardens, Planting Flags: Revolutionary France in the South Pacific
In the revolutionary years, expeditions to the Pacific regularly planted gardens in distant lands and returned home with exotic plants for cultivation in France. These scientist-dominated ventures saw acclimatization as the model for a new exploration that would benefit both native peoples and their French discoverers. An imperialism driven by acclimatization, which created gardens rather than colonies, presented enlightened Frenchmen with the im…
Acquired Tastes. 200 Years of Collecting for the Boston Athenaeum
The Boston Athenaeum is by no means the oldest such institution in North America, but it is one of the most distinguished and distinctive. Its origins were conventional enough: the Anthology Society, founded in 1804, combined the facilities of a gentlemen's club with a reading room. Three years later, it developed into the Boston Athenaeum, with its own premises and trustees. It was modelled not on the earlier Athenaeums in Rhode Island and elsew…
Introduction: Science and National Identity
Projections of the Revolutionary Nation: French Expeditions in the Pacific, 1791-1803
Revolutionary France's two Pacific expeditions, under the command of Jean-Antoine Bruny d'Entrecasteaux (1792-94) and Nicolas Baudin (1801-1804), demonstrate the importance of scientific inquiry to the newly sovereign nation. France's scientific community adapted to the changed circumstances of revolutionary upheaval by describing its work in terms of national priorities. Individuals on board the expeditions, both naval and scientific personnel, …

The Bourgeois after the Bourgeois Revolution: Recent Approaches to the Middle Class in European Cities
Recent research on the French Revolution and Industrial Revolution has questioned the notion of the bourgeoisie as the revolutionary class of the nineteenth century. European historians thus face the challenge of developing new accounts of a middle class or bourgeoisie that do not depend on Marxist narratives of the dual revolutions. Scholars’ responses have moved in two apparently divergent directions. One account focuses on language, arguing th…
Augustine and the Art of Gardening
Any description of man’s ideal state tells us a lot about the culture, society, and character of its author. Early Christian writers, as one might expect, tended to turn to Scripture, to the authoritative account in the book of Genesis of God’s creation of man and woman and of their life in the garden of Eden, in order to define their conception of the ideal life. There they discovered what to us, and perhaps to them, seems a rather strange, alie…

Citizens and Scientists: Toward a Gendered History of Scientific Practice in Post‐revolutionary France
Because the French Revolution failed to produce a widely acceptable definition of citizenship, the limits of manhood suffrage in the early nineteenth century were uncertain. Social practices, in particular scientific activity, served as claims to the status of citizen. By engaging in scientific pastimes, bourgeois Frenchmen asserted that they possessed the rationality and autonomy that liberal theorists associated both with manliness and with civ…
Augustine
St. Augustine, the North African bishop of Hippo (AD 354–430), has been much studied. But there has been no systematic attempt to consider the context which shaped his life and thought. Augustine's long and controversial career and his vast literary output provide unrivalled evidence for understanding the diverse ways in which Christianity confronted, assimilated, and finally transformed the traditional society of late antiquity. This book sets A…

The Unsociable Frenchmen: Associations and Democracy in Historical Perspective
If one hundred thousand Americans felt strongly about any single issue they would immediately form a voluntary association to promote their point of view among their fellow citizens. One hundred thousand Frenchmen with similarly strong feelings on the same subject would write individual letters to the prefect demanding his attention to the problem. Thus Alexis de Tocqueville disposed of the problem of association in France: Frenchmen were intrins…

Res non verba: Christianity and pagan literary culture
Augustine's cultural, social, and intellectual perspectives were fundamentally shaped through the established norms that proliferated during the Roman Empire. The Empire is often characterized with a monolithic nature, and several attempts have already been made to shed light on the cultural homogeneity shared by its educated citizens. The Roman's educational system played no small part in shaping and determining the most influential stratum in s…
The Bourgeois Citizen in Nineteenth-Century France: Gender, Sociability, and the uses of Emulation
The Bourgeois Citizen in Nineteenth-Century France analyses the process by which class society developed in post-revolutionary France. Focusing on bourgeois men and on their voluntary associations, Carol E. Harrison addresses the construction of class and gender identities. In their gentlemen's clubs, learned societies, musical groups, gardening clubs, and charitable associations, bourgeois Frenchmen defined a social order in which the atomized i…
