The Scent of Empires
This is a difficult book to summarise and review. Karl Schlögel is a German historian, a prize-winning scholar of Stalinism. But here he does not follow the usual conventions of the trade. The history of smell is far from the author’s previous work on dictatorship and terror; as a matter of fact, he confesses to knowing little about the subject at the start, aside from his memory of the heavy scent of official Communism in East Germany, which tur…
The Clean Body
Reviewed by: The Clean Body: A Modern History by Peter Ward Steve Zdatny Peter Ward. The Clean Body: A Modern History. Montreal: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2019. xi + 313 pp. Ill. $34.95 (9780773559387). This fascinating and elegantly written new book by Peter Ward, emeritus professor of history at the University of British Columbia, explores the underappreciated revolution in hygiene that transformed sensibilities and practices in the mode…
The old regime of hygiene
This article provides an object lesson in the history of the longue durée , reflected in the comprehensive filthiness of rural life in the nineteenth century. Political upheaval had not changed the material conditions of peasant existence or sensibilities relating to hygiene. Economic revolution had as yet made no practical difference to the dirtiness of daily life. Peasants under the Second Empire lived much as they had under the Old Regime – in…
France's Long Reconstruction
Chapman’s exemplary monograph begins with a familiar but necessary survey of a ruined France. There was a widespread agreement that recovery from war and occupation would require “modernizing” but no consensus on what that meant. Charles De Gaulle had one set of ideas, but the Resistance had a different set. Socialists, progressive Catholics, and Communists all had their own visions, which overlapped in some ways but conflicted in others. Moreove…

Collaboration or Resistance? French Hairdressers and Vichy's Labor Charter
Coiffeurs in Vichy France
Some years ago, Edward Thompson famously scolded historians for their ‘enormous condescension’ towards working people of the past. His message and example struck a responsive chord, and over the past thirty years a lively historiography has rescued these and other ‘invisible’ figures from their former obscurity. However, while many among history's silent masses have thus received their ‘voices’, this has not been the case for that vast and medioc…
La mode a la garconne, 1900-1925
Fashion and class struggle
His asking price for a shave was a cent, but . . . he made a reduction for his regular clients. . . . He would arrange [them] so that every man had a step to himself in the stone stairway leading up to the quay. When each of them was in his place, Jules would go over to the river edge, fill a little tin soap-cup with water, and then start up the stairs. The man on the lowest step would be lathered first, then the man on the second, and so on all …

The Corporatist Word and the Modernist Deed
The Artisanat in France
French artisans in this century have lacked neither testimonials nor eulogies. For every observer who has elegized artisans as the soul of the nation, as intrinsic, as necessary to France as Rocquefort and Beaujolais, there has been another, perhaps less poetic, who has pronounced the uselessness and imminent disappearance of the humble tradesman. Advocates of a petty bourgeois republic, generally associated with the name of Alain, viewed artisan…
