  • 18Th March 2020 Charles II: the Court in Exile Professor Simon Thurley CBE
    18th March 2020 Charles II: The Court in Exile Professor Simon Thurley CBE This year my lectures have been looking at what happens when normal patterns of life are disrupted by unexpected and uncontrollable events. In particular how the Stuart monarchy managed to carry on ruling, or attempting to rule, during the twists and turns of the seventeenth century. My focus is the building in which they lived and ruled and how those buildings shaped events and shaped the monarchs themselves. Tonight, I take up the story where I left it last time. My last lecture described the extraordinary court that Charles I created first in Oxford and then on the Isle of Wight. I now turn to what happened to his eldest son, Charles Prince of Wales. For three years Prince Charles was kept closely at his father's side but, in early 1645, the king became worried that they might both be captured and decided that his, increasingly independent, fifteen-year-old heir should take his own command. The Prince was placed in nominal control of Bristol and the royalist forces in the West. But, before he had a chance to influence events, the king's army was all but wiped-out at the battle of Naseby and, now virtually unstoppable, the New Model Army took the West of England. In March 1646, realising that he was in imminent danger of being taken, Charles sailed for the Scilly Isles from where he fled to the safety of Jersey. Thanks to the loyalty and determination or Sir George Carteret, its bailiff, Jersey had been recaptured from the Parliamentarians and was holding out for the king.

    BACE CULTURAL PROGRAM FOR RESEARCHERS OOOctobOctobctoberer 2006 : L’île de la Cité On this “île de la Cité” you can find among other things the cathedral Notre Dame de Paris, the conciergerie and the “Sainte Chapel”. La Conciergerie, which first collected the rents of all the shops in Paris, has soon been converted into a prison and housed very famous prisoners of the French Revolution (Marie Antoinette, Danton and Robespierre). Outside, you can discover the Tour de l’Horloge which received the first public clock of Paris and which has been restored in the 19 th century. The Sainte-Chapelle which includes two chapels has been edified under Saint Louis to receive the wreath of hawthorn and a fragment of the True Cross. The stained-glass windows, restored in the 19 th century and dating from the 13 th century, relate scenes of the Old and New Testament.

    Discover Le Marais (“The Marsh”) in Paris in 15 Steps This walking tour starts in the square in front of Notre Dame Cathedral, also called “Our Lady of Paris”. It is a historic Roman Catholic Marian cathedral on the eastern half of the Ile de la Cite and widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture and among the largest and most well-known churches the world ever built. It was begun in 1163 and essentially complete by 1345. The prominent flying buttresses (arched exterior supports or spines) of Notre Dame Cathedral Toll Free: 1 866 498-3920 www.FranceCruises.com Your first place to visit will be the two centuries-old Flower Market. You can see down alleys, from the flower market, that still show traces of medieval Paris, even after Baron Hausmann’s renovation instituted during the reign of Napoleon III, between 1853 and 1870. The market is open all day, Monday to Sunday, 8am to 7pm. One can shop for any and all species of plants, including exotics and carnivores. Sundays are dedicated marketing birds. Next, you come to perhaps the oldest location in Paris, in the heart of the Ile de la Cite. It is one of two remaining natural islands located in the Seine within the city of Paris.

  • Holocaust Souvenirs of Paris
    Under the Shadows of the Eiffel Tower: Holocaust Souvenirs of Paris By Lauren Cannady College of Charleston Department of History HIST 900 June 13th, 2012 As demonstrated in my thesis research, "For Those who Live in the Sun:" Holocaust Commemoration in the Southeastern United States, Holocaust commemoration is a vast, multifaceted enterprise.1 I wanted to explore this topic further by expanding my studies to Paris with the College of Charleston’s Versailles Fellowship program. I have found that diverse styles and forms have continued to emerge, and a chronology of types has evolved throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In the United States, Holocaust remembrance began with narratives, communicated as oral histories and sermons, published in books, journals, newspapers, and magazines, and presented in dramatic performances. Groups soon sought something more substantial to represent the horror that the Holocaust wrought. Institutions, such as synagogues, community centers, and businesses, were adorned with plaques, stained glass windows, and displays containing Holocaust relics, all commemorating the Shoah.2 The 1980s and 1990s brought another transformation—suddenly, memorialization caught public attention. Large memorials were erected in public parks, creating physical spaces for commemoration and inviting community gatherings. The American chronology of memorialization has progressed into the twenty-first century, with educational programs implemented in conjunction with the built environment. Interestingly, Parisian memorials followed a similar chronology and they possess comparable variety. I chose to continue studying Holocaust commemoration to gain a global perspective by researching the forms and evolution found in Europe, with Paris as the focus of the study. The purpose of this research is to analyze the evolution of Shoah commemoration and the emergence of physical structures—monuments, memorials, and museums.

  • Mounet-Sully 1841-1916
    COMMUNIQUÉ MOUNET-SULLY DE PRESSE 1841-1916 JANVIER 2016 EXPOSITION MAISON DE INFORMATION FORMAT DE VICTOR HUGO WWW.MAISONSVICTOR POCHE 6 PLACE DES HUGO.PARIS.FR 2 FEVRIER- 3 VOSGES AVRIL 2016 75004 PARIS Le musée rend hommage à l’acteur Jean Mounet-Sully (1841-1916) pour le centenaire de sa mort, qui s’inscrit dans le cadre des commémorations nationales. Par son jeu inédit et par sa beauté, Mounet-Sully a subjugué une époque où le théâtre vivait son dernier âge d’or avant l’invention du cinéma. Alors que la tragédie semblait moribonde, ses interprétations ont révolutionné et donné un nouveau souffle de vie à la Comédie-Française. Par une rare conjonction qui met face à face deux interprètes d’égal génie, Mounet-Sully eût aussi la chance d’être le partenaire à la scène – mais un temps aussi, à la ville ! – de Sarah Bernhardt. Cet hommage se concentre sur les grands rôles du théâtre de Victor Hugo qui ont marqué la carrière de Mounet-Sully. S’il doit au monologue de Don Carlos d’Hernani son premier rôle à l’Odéon, c’est en 1873, l’année qui suit son entrée comme pensionnaire à la Comédie-Française, qu’il débute avec le rôle de Didier dans Marion de Lorme. D’abord inquiet face à ce débutant inconnu, Hugo lui accorde sa confiance après l’avoir vu dans Oreste. Il jouera la pièce jusqu’en 1915, prenant le rôle de Louis XIII à partir de 1907. Il prend ensuite, le 21 novembre 1877, le rôle-titre d’Hernani qu’il jouera sans pratiquement discontinuer jusqu’en 1911, l’interprétant près de quatre-cents fois et le marquant durablement de son empreinte.
