  • The Age of the Democratic Revolution

    R R Palmer, David ArmitageBOOKThe Age of the Democratic…2017

    For the Western world, the period from 1760 to 1800 was the great revolutionary era in which the outlines of the modern democratic state came into being. Here for the first time in one volume is the author's account of this incendiary age. The book argues that the American, French, and Polish revolutions—and the movements for political change in Britain, Ireland, Holland, and elsewhere—were manifestations of similar political ideas, needs, and co…

  • The Age of the Democratic Revolution

    R R PalmerBOOKThe Age of the Democratic…2017

    This chapter provides an overview of the book's main themes. This book deals with Western Civilization as a whole at a critical moment in its history, or with what has sometimes recently been called the Atlantic Civilization, a term probably closer to reality in the eighteenth century than in the twentieth. The book argues that this whole civilization was swept, in the last four decades of the eighteenth century, by a single revolutionary movemen…

  • The School of the French Revolution

    R R PalmerBOOKSchool of the French Revolution2015

    The College of Louis-le-Grand, now the premier lycee of France, is the only school with a connected history of education from the ancien regime to modern times. It was the only school never to close during the French Revolution, and its experience offers a new perspective on the fate of educational institutions in times of revolutionary change. In this book a noted historian describes the French college of the ancien regime and tells how it withs…

  • The Age of the Democratic Revolution: A Political History of Europe and America, 1760-1800

    R R PalmerBOOKThe Age of the Democratic…2014

    For the Western world, the period from 1760 to 1800 was the great revolutionary era in which the outlines of the modern democratic state came into being. Here for the first time in one volume is R. R. Palmer's magisterial account of this incendiary age. Palmer argues that the American, French, and Polish revolutions-and the movements for political change in Britain, Ireland, Holland, and elsewhere-were manifestations of similar political ideas, n…

  • Land Law Reform in Eastern Africa

    R Palmer, R R PalmerARTICLEAfrican Affairs2014

    Patrick McAuslan, law professor and legal draftsperson, ends his hugely impressive, but very expensive, new book on a distinctly sombre note. ‘The optimistic hopes which I and others involved in the land law reform process in the 1990s harboured have not been realized and the trend seems to be against their being realized’ (p. 238). He argues that what is now needed on land issues in sub-Saharan Africa is ‘the equivalent of an Arab Spring, peacef…

  • Landmarked

    R Palmer, R R PalmerARTICLEAfrican Affairs2010

    Landmarked opens with the author’s eye-witness account of the forced removal of a so-called ‘black spot’ in Kwapitela, Natal in 1981. This marks the beginning of both Cherryl Walker’s own journey in the strange world of South African land reform and of this remarkable book, with its rich mix of personal testimonies from victims of such removals, evocative photographs, and the author’s insights from her unusually varied vantage points of activist,…

    Robert Forster, R H Forster et al.ARTICLEFrench Historical Studies1990Citada por: 2

    In 1953 I went to Toulouse as a graduate student from Johns Hopkins University. I had the privilege of meeting Georges Lefebvre in Paris that September, and he told me to see Godechot when I arrived in the Midi. I remember well those brick buildings on the Avenue Lautmann, a block from the Cathedral of Saint Sernin. Jacques Godechot came to class wearing a homburg hat and overcoat and carrying his briefcase. I recall the first meeting in his offi…

  • How Five Centuries of Educational Philanthropy Disappeared in the French Revolution

    R R PalmerARTICLEHistory of Education Quarterly1986Citada por: 1

    Endowments for charitable purposes, including schools, have existed for centuries, usually in former times associated with religion, as in the Christian and Islamic worlds, in Jewish communities, and doubtless elsewhere. Most often under older conditions they consisted in the right to receive income from land, or from land and buildings, under whatever provisions for tenure and ownership might prevail from one place to another. They have generall…

  • The Improvement of Humanity

    R R PalmerBOOKImprovement of Humanity1985

Originally published in 1985. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the origin…

  • A Century of French History in America

    R R PalmerARTICLEFrench Historical Studies1985Citada por: 5

    When I was invited to prepare a paper for this centennial meeting of the American Historical Association I accepted with pleasure for a number of special reasons. I was glad that the meeting was to be held in Chicago. As a native of the city, educated in its public schools and its great university, it seemed a particular privilege for me to be able to appear here so many years later. I left in 1932 to do graduate work with Carl Becker at Cornell.…

  • What a lovely war

    R R Palmer

    A collection of British soliders' songs of the 20th century, impressive in range and scope. The book contains some 112 songs, familiar and unfamilar, some epigrammatic, most with tunes. The material is grouped thematically with songs about joining, training, soldiering, punishment, off duty, prisoners, under-fire and going home. Background notes are given for each song.
