This collection of essays explores how Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment developments in the earth sciences and related fields (paleontology, mining, archeology, seismology, oceanography, evolution, et cetera) impacted on contemporary French culture. They reveal that geological ideas were a much more pervasive and influential cultural force than has hitherto been supposed. From the mid-eighteenth century, with the publication of Buffon’s seminal Théorie de la Terre (1749), until the early twentieth century, concepts and figures drawn from the earth sciences inspired some of the most important French philosophers, novelists, political theorists, historians and popularizers of science of the time. This book charts the original and influential ways in which French writers and thinkers, such as Buffon, d’Holbach, Balzac, Sand, Verne, Gide and Malraux, exploited the earth sciences for very different ends. This volume will be of interest to students, researchers and scholars of French literature in the modern period, cultural historians of modern France, scholars of European studies, of French political history, of the History of Ideas or the History of Science as well as researchers in landscape and physical geography.

"De toutes les images que la postérité nous a laissées de François Ier, celle de l’amateur d’art italien est probablement l’une des plus profondément ancrées dans la mémoire collective. On sait moins la richesse des relations que le souverain a nouées avec le Nord, en particulier son intérêt pour les arts des anciens Pays-Bas méridionaux. Les artistes flamands, spécialement les portraitistes, ont joué un rôle de premier plan dans la vie culturelle française de l’époque. Ainsi François Ier confie-t-il à des Flamands le soin d’exécuter ses portraits ou ceux de son entourage. Jean Clouet, portraitiste officiel du premier roi Valois, en est l’exemple le plus fameux. D’autres personnalités flamandes sont présentes à la cour de France, comme les peintres et dessinateurs Gauthier de Campes, Godefroy le Batave, Léonard Thiry ou Noël Bellemare, au service de François Ier ou actifs sur les chantiers royaux, notamment à Fontainebleau. Leur influence s’étend aux domaines de la majolique, des arts dits « décoratifs » et de la gravure. La place de l’art flamand dans les collections royales françaises constitue un autre volet des relations entre le roi de France et les productions artistiques du Nord. À cet égard, la tapisserie est un champ d’acquisition exceptionnel pour le souverain français. La musique n’est pas en reste, puisque plusieurs compositeurs flamands, ou d’origine flamande, fréquentent la chapelle royale de François Ier. Fruit d’un travail collectif, cet ouvrage réhabilite la présence, longtemps négligée, des arts du Nord à la cour de France."--Page 4 de la couverture.

In a groundbreaking book that challenges many assumptions about gender and politics in the French Revolution, Suzanne Desan offers an insightful analysis of the ways the Revolution radically redefined the family and its internal dynamics. She shows how revolutionary politics and laws brought about a social revolution within households and created space for thousands of French women and men to reimagine their most intimate relationships. Families negotiated new social practices, including divorce, the reduction of paternal authority, egalitarian inheritance for sons and daughters alike, and the granting of civil rights to illegitimate children. Contrary to arguments that claim the Revolution bound women within a domestic sphere, The Family on Trial maintains that the new civil laws and gender politics offered many women unexpected opportunities to gain power, property, or independence. The family became a political arena, a practical terrain for creating the Republic in day-to-day life. From 1789, citizens across France-sons and daughters, unhappily married spouses and illegitimate children, pamphleteers and moralists, deputies and judges-all disputed how the family should be reformed to remake the new France. They debated how revolutionary ideals and institutions should transform the emotional bonds, gender dynamics, legal customs, and economic arrangements that structured the family. They asked how to bring the principles of liberty, equality, and regeneration into the home. And as French citizens confronted each other in the home, in court, and in print, they gradually negotiated new domestic practices that balanced Old Regime customs with revolutionary innovations in law and culture. In a narrative that combines national-level analysis with a case study of family contestation in Normandy, Desan explores these struggles to bring politics into households and to envision and put into practice a new set of familial relationships.
