A Social History Of France 1800-1914
DESCRIPTION: Review 'Roger Magraw's work has long been influential across the broad field of nineteenth-century French Studies. His books have shaped the ways in which students and specialists alike have approached the complex movements of post-revolutionary history. His present study is a remarkable work of synthesis.' 'His book is both accessible and comprehensive.' Modern Comtemporary France, 2004 ' With its combination of intriguing detail and lucid argument this work deserves a wide readership.' French History, Review of Books, 2004 From the Back Cover Nineteenth-century France was a society of apparent paradoxes. It is famous for periodic and bloody revolutionary upheavals, for class conflict and for profound religious disputes. Yet this period was also marked by relative demographic stability, gradual urbanisation and modest economic change. This new and ground-breaking history ranges widely. Alongside coverage of more 'traditional' themes of social history - class and class conflict, religion and anticlericalism, education and popular literacy - there are innovative chapters on crime and punishment, medicalisation, consumerism and gender. Incorporating much recent research, Roger Magraw draws both upon valuable insights derived from the new social history of the 1960s and upon more recent approaches suggested by gender history, cultural anthropology and the 'linguistic turn'. Each chapter contains a very extensive, up-to-date bibliography to direct students towards further reading. ROGER MAGRAW is Senior Lecturer in History, University of Warwick. He is the author of France, 1815-1914: The Bourgeois Century (1983) and A History of the French Working Class (1992).
