Les noms d'époque: De « Restauration » à « années de plomb »
Le temps est la matière vive de l’Histoire, que l’on s’attache de longue date à découper et à périodiser. Ainsi sont nés les époques, les périodes ou les âges de notre histoire. À ces 'divisions imaginaires du temps', selon l’expression de Charles Seignobos, les historiens ont consacré de nombreux et importants travaux. Un aspect est demeuré cependant en retrait : celui qui a trait aux noms et dénominations de ces époques. On ne s’est en effet ja…

Of Traiteurs and Tsars
Between 1893 and 1901, the Parisian traiteur Potel et Chabot catered a series of gala meals celebrating the recent Franco-Russian alliance, which was heralded in France as ending its diplomatic isolation following the Franco-Prussian War. The firm was well adapted to the particularities of the unlikely alliance between Tsarist Russia and republican France. On the one hand, it represented a tradition of French luxury production, including haute cu…

The Enemies of Books? Women and the Bibliophilic Imagination in Fin-De-Siècle France
L'A. se penche sur le discours misogyne du 19eme siecle critiquant les attitudes des femmes envers les livres, qui sont vus en tant qu'objets sexues. L'histoire nous montre que le livre etait considere comme l'institution eminemment masculine et l'expression du pouvoir et de l'autorite. Mais vers la fin du siecle, le double defi de la femme nouvelle, aussi bien sur le plan de l'instruction que sur le plan du temps des loisirs, a amene le crise de…
Unpacking His Library: Robert de Montesquiou and the Esthetics of the Book in Fin-de-siecle France
The sale of the personal library of Robert de Montesquiou is a valuable document for a study of the esthetics of the book and the history of reading in fin-de-si cle France. The catalog and related documents reveal that the value Montesquiou attached to books varied according to their author, provenance, and usefulness to him for his own writings. Above all, in line with the esthetics of Symbolism, Montesquiou valued books as decorative objects, …
The Notorious Life of Gyp: Right-Wing Anarchist in Fin-de-Siecle France
Life and death of a ‘non‐conformist’: Thierry de Martel (1875–1940)
Although the career of Thierry de Martel, one of France's most illustrious neurosurgeons, would seem primarily of interest to historians of medicine, his life and self‐inflicted death can be inscribed into different contexts. De Martel can be considered representative of what Jean Touchard calls ‘l'esprit des années trente’, a spirit both of malaise and revolt which prompted many among the First World War generation to seek new political and inte…
A War of Words: Publishers and Publishing During the Dreyfus Affair
The Notorious Life of Gyp: Right-Wing Anarchist in Fin-de-Siecle France.
Remembering in Vain: The Klaus Barbie Trial and Crimes against Humanity
In 1988, in what was probably one of the last trials of a Nazi war criminal and the first of such trials to take place in France, Klaus Barbie, the notorious Butcher of Lyon, was found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life in prison. Yet despite the memories stirred, despite the verdict, to Alain Finkielkraut the trial was a moral failure. In Remembering in Vain, Finkielkraut maintains that the Barbie trial attests to the failur…
