"During the American Revolutionary War, Rufus Putnam served as the Continental Army's chief military engineer. As designer and supervisor of the construction of major fortifications-including the most indispensable, West Point-his contribution was key to helping American forces drive the British Army from Boston. Several years after the War, Putnam personally founded the first permanent American settlement in the Northwest Territory, which was ceded to the new American nation by Britain. Putnam saw to it that slavery would not be permitted in the State of Ohio, leading the way for Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin to enter the U.S. as free states. This first full-length biography of Putnam in more than 130 years covers his wartime service and his efforts to prevent the expansion of slavery."--

Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian revolutionary leader and popular hero, was among the best-known figures of the nineteenth century. This book seeks to examine his life and the making of his cult, to assess its impact, and understand its surprising success.For thirty years Garibaldi was involved in every combative event in Italy. His greatest moment came in 1860, when he defended a revolution in Sicily and provoked the collapse of the Bourbon monarchy, the overthrow of papal power in central Italy, and the creation of the Italian nation state. It made him a global icon, representing strength, bravery, manliness, saintliness, and a spirit of adventure. Handsome, flamboyant, and sexually attractive, he was worshiped in life and became a cult figure after his death in 1882.Lucy Riall shows that the emerging cult of Garibaldi was initially conceived by revolutionaries intent on overthrowing the status quo, that it was also the result of a collaborative effort involving writers, artists, actors, and publishers, and that it became genuinely and enduringly popular among a broad public. The book demonstrates that Garibaldi played an integral part in fashioning and promoting himself as a new kind of "charismatic" political hero. It analyzes the way the Garibaldi myth has been harnessed both to legitimize and to challenge national political structures. And it identifies elements of Garibaldi's political style appropriated by political leaders around the world, including Mussolini and Che Guevara.

La statue de Giordano Bruno dressée sur le Campo de Fiori, le procès de Galilée dont la mémoire est toujours présente à travers le théâtre ou les débats de l’Académie pontificale des sciences disent assez combien le destin de la Rome des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles a été négativement associé à celui de la science moderne et de son avènement conflictuel. Les études réunies dans ce volume, résultat d’un programme collectif de recherche sur la genèse de la culture scientifique européenne, entendent apporter une nouvelle contribution non seulement au dossier de la révolution scientifique en milieu catholique, mais plus largement à celui des relations que chaque société entretient avec les acteurs et la production du savoir et de la science. La focale mise sur Rome, comme milieu social spécifique, comme capitale de la catholicité et comme centre d’une monarchie pontificale en profond renouvellement entre XVIe et XVIIIe siècle, permet de discuter les paradigmes classiques d’une historiographie qui a trop hâtivement relégué le milieu romain à la marge de toute forme d’innovation savante. Il s’agit aussi d’ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de réflexions et de nouveaux chantiers sur les diverses configurations socio-intellectuelles au sein desquelles le travail savant a continué à faire de Rome un centre actif de travail et de production de savoirs.
