Summary

Fourteen wide-ranging chapters by distinguished international scholars treat key aspects of the rapidly changing political and cultural scene in France from the First Republic, through the Consulate and Empire to the death of Louis XVIII in 1824. Falling into two interlinked parts, this collection of original essays explores new developments as well as continuities characterizing the transition between the 18th and the 19th centuries. It includes chapters on feminism, politics and theater, elections and plebiscites, revolution and counter-revolution, patronage, universities and education, medicine, music, and science.

Author Biography
