Abstract

Accueillant avec optimisme la mobilisation d août 1914, des nobles de tout âge s engagent sous les drapeaux, en particulier dans la cavalerie, l infanterie et l aviation. Dès les premiers mois du conflit, un immense décalage se fait jour entre leurs idéaux guerriers, hérités d une prestigieuse tradition militaire, et la réalité brutale de combats où les avancées technologiques, l attente et l inaction cristallisent la hantise d une mort sans gloire. Issues d un monde où l exploit individuel, le sacrifice et le dépassement de soi sont particulièrement valorisés, les noblesses françaises connaissent une désillusion amère et restent le plus souvent en marge de la camaraderie des tranchées. Au fil des années, toutefois, ces combattants de tous grades découvrent, entre incompréhension, condescendance et bienveillance, des compatriotes qu ils connaissent mal. Cette expérience d altérité, qui ébranle les hiérarchies d avant-guerre, est d autant plus déstabilisante qu entre 1914 et 1916, ce sont près d un quart des 5 870 aristocrates mobilisés qui perdent la vie : une hécatombe, frappant une catégorie sociale déjà fragilisée. À travers les correspondances, récits et souvenirs de ces combattants, qui ont laissé d innombrables archives et témoignages restés dans l ombre jusqu à aujourd hui, ce livre est une contribution inédite à l histoire sociale et culturelle de la Première Guerre mondiale. Ancien élève de l École normale supérieure de Fontenay-Saint-Cloud, Bertrand Goujon est spécialiste de l histoire du long XIXe siècle et des élites européennes. Maître de conférences à l université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, il est l auteur de Monarchies postrévolutionnaires (2012).

Abstract

Until now scholars have looked for the source of the indomitable Tommy morale on the Western Front in innate British bloody-mindedness and irony, not to mention material concerns such as leave, food, rum, brothels, regimental pride, and male bonding. However, re-examining previously used sources alongside never-before consulted archives, Craig Gibson shifts the focus away from battle and the trenches to times behind the front, where the British intermingled with a vast population of allied civilians, whom Lord Kitchener had instructed the troops to 'avoid'. Besides providing a comprehensive examination of soldiers' encounters with local French and Belgian inhabitants which were not only unavoidable but also challenging, symbiotic and uplifting in equal measure, Gibson contends that such relationships were crucial to how the war was fought on the Western Front and, ultimately, to British victory in 1918. What emerges is a novel interpretation of the British and Dominion soldier at war.

Abstract

In sources as diverse as parliamentary records, newspaper articles, novels, medical texts, writings on sexology, and vocational literature, Roberts discovers a central question: how to come to terms with rapid economic, social, and cultural change and articulate a new order of social relationships. She examines the role of French trauma concerning the War in legislative efforts to ban propaganda for abortion and contraception, and explains anxieties about the decline of maternity by a crisis in gender relations that linked soldiery, virility, and paternity. In the raucous decade following World War I, newly blurred boundaries between male and female created fears among the French that theirs was becoming a civilization without sexes. This new gender confusion became a central metaphor for the War's impact on French culture and led to a marked increase in public debate concerning female identity and woman's proper role. Mary Louise Roberts examines how in these debates French society came to grips with the catastrophic horrors of the Great War. Through these debates, Roberts locates the seeds of actual change. She shows how the willingness to entertain, or simply the need to condemn, nontraditional gender roles created an indecisiveness over female identity that ultimately subverted even the most conservative efforts to return to traditional gender roles and irrevocably altered the social organization of gender in postwar France.
