A propos de cet article

FINE First Edition hardcover (Orig. 1998) First Printing * 6.50" x 9.50" x 1.68", 1.12 kg, x+726 (736) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: A panorama of a whole civilization, a world on the verge of cataclysm, unfolds in this magisterial work by the foremost historian of 18th-century France. Since Tocqueville's account of the Old Regime, historians have struggled to understand the social, cultural, & political intricacies of this efflorescence of French society before the Revolution. France in the Enlightenment is a brilliant addition to this historical interest. France in the Enlightenment brings the Old Regime to life by showing how its institutions operated & how they were understood by the people who worked within them. Daniel Roche begins with a map of space & time, depicting France as a mosaic of overlapping geographical units, w/ people and goods traversing it to the rhythms of everyday life. He fills this frame w/ the patterns of rural life, urban culture, & government institutions. Here as never before we see the 18th-century French "culture of appearances" : the organization of social life, the diffusion of ideas, the accoutrements of ordinary people in the folkways of ordinary living--their food & clothing, living quarters, reading material. Roche shows us the 18th-century France of the peasant, the merchant, the noble, the King, from Paris to the provinces, from the public space to the private home. By placing politics & material culture at the heart of historical change, Roche captures the complexity & depth of the Enlightenment. From the finest detail to the widest view, from the isolated event to the sweeping trend, his masterly book offers an unparalleled picture of a society in motion, flush w/ the transformation that will be its own demise. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.…
