Tracing my project to its origins, I must thank Dr. François Igersheim, professeur and chairperson of the Institut des études alsaciennes at the Université Marc Bloch, Strasbourg, France. His course on Alsatian history first introduced me to the complex historical question of language in the borderlands, and he generously shared his time and expertise in helping me navigate the Institut to locate sources. I also extend my thanks to the faculty of the Institut Phonétique at Marc Bloch. Through their courses I learned the complex rules, structure, and transcription process of French phonetics, without which I could never have tackled the language’s historical development. Investigating complex linguistic issues would have been equally impossible without a proficiency in the language. For their assistance and support as I journeyed toward this goal (stumbling often), I must particularly thank Carol Hill, Nelly Rosenberg, Petra Christov- Bakargiev, Morgane LeCoroller, and Guillemette Joyaut de Couesnongle. No one could have better teachers or friends. I owe a great debt of gratitude to my advisors, Professor Virginia Reinburg and Professor Paul Spagnoli, who introduced me to the field of history (particularly French history) and who supported this project when it was little more than an emergent idea. Your constant guidance, suggestions, and encouragement have made examining three hundred years of French linguistic history an enjoyable (and much less daunting) experience. I would also like to thank Professor Ourida Mostefai, for serving as my second reader. Your constructive translation advice and understanding of the French perspective toward historical and linguistic issues has been invaluable. Thanks are certainly due to Teresa Behr. Only the best friend and roommate imaginable would agree to read and reread countless drafts without complaint, or suffer so many interruptions of writing her own thesis to offer useful advice on German translations. It has been a delight to share this process with you. Finally, I must thank my family. Mom and Dad, you raised me to “always ask questions,” and this work is a testament to that advice. You also read my drafts, allowed me to usurp entire areas of the house with research materials, and even read French to me over the phone in emergencies. Michael, you showed me the outside of the box, where this project certainly had its origins. I owe special thanks to Gram as well, whose countless lessons in l’orthographe instilled in me a passion for language. None of this would have been possible without the environment of love and support created by all of you. iii INTRODUCTION De moy, lecteur, ne fay pas jugement, Par le milieu, fin, ou commancement. Je t’apprendray (si tu as patience) Du bon François et faux la difference. Mais en parlant d’un tas de mots nouveaux, Il m’a falu parler de ces cerveaux, Ausquels en tout la nouveauté est belle, Tant qu’ils nous font une France nouvelle.1 Henri Estienne, 1578 Sixteenth-century author and grammarian Henri Estienne addressed the above words to readers of his linguistic commentary, Deux dialogues du nouveau langage françois italianizé (Two Dialogues of the New, Italianized French Language).2 The complex study of language history, according to Estienne, requires patience and an open mind. The historian (or linguist) undertaking such studies merely serves as a medium, tracing and conveying to readers the path which language has forged through history. Estienne could not envision, in 1578, the development of his native French over the next three hundred years, but he recognized in the language a great power, already at work, to create “a new France.” The ensuing centuries would confirm Estienne’s linguistic predictions, as language developments gradually transformed the French country and its people. This investigation will explore why and to what extent the French identity has historically relied on the French language, as well as how this dependence shaped France from 1600 to 1900. 1 “Do not judge me, reader, / At the middle, end, or beginning./ I will teach you (if you have patience) / The difference between genuine and false French./ But in discussing many new words, / It was necessary for me to mention those minds / for whom this novelty of new words is so attractive / that they make a new France for us.” Quote taken from Henri Estienne, Deux dialogues du nouveau langage françois italianizé (Paris: Alphonse Lemerre, 1885), in Gallica: la bibliothèque numérique, [http://gallica.bnf.fr], notice number FRBNF37234796, 31. 2 In this work, Estienne sharply criticized the tradition of italianisme (adopting elements of the Italian language into French speech) in vogue at the Paris court in the sixteenth century. Defending French, he parodied the Italianized speech through mock dialogues. 1 What is language? Few definitions of the term can adequately capture language’s power and influence over nations and peoples. In France, definitions are a science, an art, and an institution of sorts. Enter a librairie in search of “a dictionary,” and clerks will most likely meet the inquiry with a confused reaction. One requests a dictionary by name—le Larousse, le Robert, or simply le Dictionnaire (of the Académie française)—and discerning customers always have a preference when it comes to their language. Renowned French dictionaries, past and present, have attempted to define “language.” Jean Nicot, who published the first monolingual French dictionary, Thrésor de la langue françoise, in 1606, identified language (langue) simply as “le parler & langage particulier de chaque pays (the particular speech & language of each country).”3 But much more than geography connects the French nation and people to their idiom. Paul Cohen, who wrote a comprehensive history of early modern French, calls French, “a political idiom” and “a form of civic glue.”4 A strong legacy binds the French to their language, demonstrating the idiom’s instrumental role in France’s cultural, social, and political development. A variety of approaches exist for examining the history of French, though most historians agree on at least one basic notion: the linguistic situation in early modern France differed drastically from the current environment. Mere centuries ago, France could not claim a national language. Aristocrats, political authorities, and intellectuals in the capital spoke and wrote Parisian French, but their idiom lacked codification and standardization; that process would require centuries. Any modern map provides “multiples repères chronologiques (multiple chronological reference points)” in France’s linguistic history; names of cities and towns 3 Jean Nicot, Thrésor de la langue françoise tante ancienne que moderne (Paris: Editions A. et J.

  • Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic
    Rewriting the Nation: Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic By Celine L Maillard A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Douglas P Collins, Chair Maya A Smith Susan Gaylard Ana Fernandez Dobao Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of French and Italian Studies College of Arts and Sciences ©Copyright 2019 Céline L Maillard University of Washington Abstract Rewriting the Nation: Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic Celine L Maillard Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Douglas P Collins Department of French and Italian Studies This research investigates the rewriting of the nation in France during the Third Republic and the role played by primary schools in the process of identity formation. Le Tour de la France par deux enfants, a textbook written in 1877 by Augustine Fouillée, is our entry point to illustrate the strategies used in manufacturing French identity. We also analyze other texts: political speeches from the revolutionary era and from the Third Republic, as well as testimonies from both students and teachers written during the twentieth century. Bringing together close readings and research from various fields – history, linguistics, sociology, and philosophy – we use an interdisciplinary approach to shed light on language and national identity formation. Our findings underscore the connections between French primary education and national identity. Our analysis also contends that national identity in France during the Third Republic was an artificial construction and demonstrates how otherness was put in the service of populism.

Our paper tries to analyse the way in which the regional identity of art historiography in Alsace came into being in the 20th century. Similarly to Transylvania, Alsace represented a highly disputed territory, being claimed by two hostile nations. We shall focus upon the regionalist point of view, which used to be overshadowed by the ofl cial nationalist discourse of the centres, Paris and Berlin. We shall examine the way in which a regional identity was invented through works of art. Regionalist art historians did no longer speak of the existence of French or German art in Alsace, but of the existence of an Alsatian art individualized within European art. We shall also emphasise the role the genius loci and regional geography played in forging this new identity. Keywords: regional identity, art historiography, Alsace, regional geography To Corina Moldovan Natural borders The extraordinary inm uence of Vidal de la Blache’s writings (1845–1918) was not limited to the circle of geographers only, but it spread among art historians as well. Beside the analysis of different kinds of artefacts and monuments, regional geography enjoyed a large popularity among regionalist art historians. Artistic works were placed in the immediate geographical context, thus developing new meanings. In addition to that, a tight connection was observed between the geographical area and the work of art, the latter one being inm uenced by or completed with the peculiarities of landforms.

  • The Palace of Versailles, Self-Fashioning, and the Coming of the French Revolution
    La Belle et la Bête: The Palace of Versailles, Self-Fashioning, and the Coming of the French Revolution La Belle et la Bête: The Palace of Versailles, Self-Fashioning, and the Coming of the French Revolution Savanna R. Teague Abstract While the mass consumption of luxury items is oftentimes described as a factor leading the Third Estate to take action against the First and Second Estates in the buildup to the French Revolution, that spending is presented as little more than salt in the open wounds of a starving and ever-growing population that had been growing evermore destitute since the beginnings of the early modern era. However, the causes and contexts of the conspicuous consumption as practiced by the aristocracy reveal how they directly correlate to the social tensions that persisted throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries until they erupted in the 1790s. The isolation and the dictation of taste and style that Louis XIV commanded through Versailles and State-run luxury workshops became commonplace within a generation after the Fronde in which the nobles had engaged during the previous century. Versailles allowed the new generation of the aristocracy to be placated with petty privileges that developed out of the rigorous court etiquette, and their conspicuous consumption only increased as the need to compete with others at Court and those newly ennobled continued. This study examines a materialistic culture alongside its material culture, focusing on explaining the expenditures of the aristocracy without becoming enamored by the spectacle of wealth itself. The goods and services that the French aristocracy indulged in purchasing were not simply marks of luxury; they represented social ideals about order and privilege.

  • Shadow Kingdom: Lotharingia and the Frankish World, C.850-C.1050 1. Introduction Like Any Family, the Carolingian Dynasty Which
    1 Shadow Kingdom: Lotharingia and the Frankish World, c.850-c.1050 1. Introduction Like any family, the Carolingian dynasty which ruled continental Western Europe from the mid-eighth century until the end of the ninth had its black sheep. Lothar II (855-69) was perhaps the most tragic example. A great-grandson of the famous emperor Charlemagne, he belonged to a populous generation of the family which ruled the Frankish empire after it was divided into three kingdoms – east, west and middle – by the Treaty of Verdun in 843. In 855 Lothar inherited the northern third of the Middle Kingdom, roughly comprising territories between the Meuse and the Rhine, and seemed well placed to establish himself as a father to the next generation of Carolingians. But his line was not to prosper. Early in his reign he had married a noblewoman called Theutberga in order to make an alliance with her family, but a few childless years later attempted to divorce her in order to marry a former lover called Waldrada by whom he already had a son. This was to be Lothar’s downfall, as his uncles Charles the Bald and Louis the German, kings respectively of west and east Francia, enlisted the help of Pope Nicholas I in order to keep him married and childless, and thus render his kingdom vulnerable to their ambitions. In this they were ultimately successful – by the time he died in 869, aged only 34, Lothar’s divorce had become a full-blown imperial drama played out through an exhausting cycle of litigation and posturing which dominated Frankish politics throughout the 860s.1 In the absence of a legitimate heir to take it over, his kingdom was divided between those of his uncles – and with the exception of a short period in the 890s, it never truly existed again as an independent kingdom.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Though later in life the poet will celebrate conjugal love in Book IV of Paradise Lost (1667) and in Sonnet XXIII Methought I saw my late espousèd saint (1673), in 1645 Milton proffers his lyric of erotic desire in the Italian language alone. His choice is both unusual and entirely fitting. How did Milton, born in Cheapside, acquire Italian at such an elevated level of proficiency? When did he write these poems and where? Is the woman about whom he speaks an historical person or is she merely the poetic trope demanded by the genre? Though relatively few critics have addressed the style of Milton’s Italian verse, an astonishing range of views has nonetheless emerged from their assessments.
