About This Item
Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2008 Book. As New. Hardcover. First Edition. Large 8vo. xx, 540 pp, list of 43 b&w illustrations, acknowledgments, maps, Introduction: The Children of the Revolution; Part I. France, 1799-1870; Part II. France, 1870-1914; Conclusion: 1914; notes, index First Edition, 2008. "The author offers a strikingly unfamiliar France, a country with an often overwhelming gap between Paris and the provinces, a country torn apart by fratricidal hatreds and a tortured history of feminism, the site of political catastrophes and artistic triumphs; reveals how the collective recognition of the great costs of the Revolution galvanized the French to achieve consensus in a new republic and to integrate the tumultuous past into their sense of national identity. It was in this spirit that Frances young men went to the front in World War I with a powerful sense of national confidence and purpose." Not Price Clipped. Pristine, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no other underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Off-white cloth with blue paper-covered boards, and glossy gilt lettering to spine..
