Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Historiography frequently privileges the grand epoch, the long century, or the dramatic rupture over the quiet turn of a calendar wheel. Yet, the isolation of a single calendar year offers a remarkably potent micro-historical prism through which the broader structural tectonic plates of an entire civilization can be observed in mid-shift. To freeze the temporal frame at the year 1900 is not to engage in an arbitrary exercise of chronological neatness, but rather to capture Great Britain at a moment of profound, high-wire historical equilibrium. The year 1900 sat precisely upon the boundary between the supreme confidence of nineteenth-century industrial and imperial dominance and the anxious, uncertain realities of the approaching twentieth century. It was a year wherein the Victorian world order was simultaneously celebrating its vast global reach and confronting the unmistakable, encroaching shadows of its own systemic limits. By focusing exclusively on the twelve months of 1900, this volume examines how the economic, political, social, and cultural structures of late-Victorian Britain coped with the immediate, converging pressures of an agonizing imperial war in South Africa, a shifting domestic political landscape, the emergence of organized labor, and deep-seated anxieties regarding national efficiency and racial decline.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Industrialization in the nineteenth century has long been narrated as an economic and technological transformation, a shift in modes of production, a triumph of machinery, or a reorganization of labor. Yet these familiar narratives, while indispensable, capture only part of the story. What unfolded between roughly 1780 and 1914 was not merely a change in how goods were produced but a profound reorientation of how human beings experienced the world, imagined their futures, understood their identities, and interpreted the meaning of collective life. Industrialization was, in every sense, a cultural event-an upheaval in symbols, values, habits, and expectations that reshaped the texture of everyday existence. To treat it only as an economic revolution is to miss the deeper transformation in consciousness that accompanied the rise of the factory, the railway, the steam engine, and the modern city.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The story of The Old Curiosity Shop has long occupied a paradoxical place in the landscape of Victorian literature. Few nineteenth-century novels provoked such intense emotional response, and few have been so persistently mocked for the very sentiment that once made them beloved. To approach this novel today is to enter a contested emotional terrain, one shaped by the tears of its earliest readers, the derision of later critics, and the ongoing scholarly effort to understand how feeling operated as a cultural force in the Victorian imagination. This book argues that The Old Curiosity Shop is not simply a sentimental artifact but a crucial text for understanding the nineteenth century's emotional regime-its anxieties, its aspirations, and its moral investments. Through the intertwined themes of pathos, death, and the Victorian cult of feeling, the novel becomes a lens through which to examine how a culture constructed, circulated, and policed emotional experience.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This volume systematically traces the trajectory of the French Third Republic tragic collapse over the course of the pivotal decade spanning from 1930 to 1940. By examining the intricate interplay between institutional design, economic dogma, ideological extremism, cultural despair, and strategic blindness, this book seeks to answer how a regime that had successfully weathered the horrors of the First World War succumbed so completely in the summer of 1940. Through a rigorous examination of diplomatic correspondence, parliamentary records, press accounts, military archives, and personal memoirs, each chapter illuminates a specific dimension of this multi-faceted breakdown. The history of the Third Republic's final decade is not merely an account of military miscalculation or external aggression, but a sobering case study in the internal vulnerabilities of democratic institutions under the pressure of prolonged economic crisis, social fragmentation, and ideological war. In understanding the mechanics of its disintegration, one gains critical insight into the fragile nature of democratic systems when the foundational consensus that sustains them is permitted to erode.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the early summer of 1940, the French Third Republic vanished not merely through the sheer momentum of an invading army, but through a profound, self-inflicted institutional collapse. Within six weeks, the nation possessing what was widely regarded as the most formidable land army in Western Europe suffered a military, political, and psychological catastrophe without precedent in modern history. As millions of terrified civilians choked the country's roadways in a desperate flight southward, the parliamentary republic, which had endured for seven decades and survived the grueling trial of the First World War, folded upon itself. In its place emerged the French State (L'Etat Francais), anchored in the quiet spa town of Vichy and headed by Marshal Philippe Petain, the venerated hero of Verdun. This transition was not an inescapable outcome dictated solely by foreign occupation, but an intentional, internal counter-revolution. The fall of France exposed deep structural fractures within the nation's social and political fabric, enabling an authoritarian right-wing elite to dismantle democratic institutions and institute a radical ideological project under the shadow of German hegemony.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the autumn of 1931, the economic tremors that had shattered Wall Street two years prior finally breached the fiscal ramparts of the French Third Republic. For nearly two decades, French political elites had comforted themselves with the illusion of a unique national immunity, persuaded that the nation's balanced equilibrium between industry and agriculture, alongside its stoic republican institutions, would shield it from the structural convulsions tearing through Anglo-Saxon capitalism and Central European democracies. When the collapse arrived, it did not merely dismantle financial markets; it struck a society already paralyzed by an insidious, pervasive sense of spiritual and cultural exhaustion. The interwar era in France was defined less by its material deprivation than by a profound crisis of faith in the foundational tenets of Enlightenment rationalism, bourgeois liberalism, and parliamentary democracy. A pervasive conviction took hold across the cultural spectrum that the republic was no longer merely misgoverned, but irrevocably corrupt, intellectually bankrupt, and structurally decadent. This delusion of inevitable decadence-the pervasive obsession with la decadence-became the organizing myth of a generation of intellectuals who came of age in the shadow of the Great War.This book situates itself directly within this dynamic historiographical landscape, offering a comparative intellectual biography of Mounier, Maulnier, and Brasillach to trace how a shared cultural diagnosis disintegrated under the weight of historical events. By examining these three thinkers side by side across twenty-one substantive thematic chapters, this volume demonstrates that the political polarization of the 1930s was not merely driven by external economic shocks or party-political machinations, but by an internal, highly sophisticated media war fought in the pages of books, journals, and newspapers. The decade was defined by a series of escalating historical flashpoints that systematically forced intellectuals to abandon nuanced theoretical positions and adopt uncompromising political postures.
