  • Joseph François Michaud (1767-1839)
    Joseph François Michaud (1767-1839) de l’Académie française, journaliste et historien, membre de l’Académie de Savoie Joseph François Michaud est né le 19 juin 1767 à Orly, hameau d’Albens en Savoie. Il est issu d’une famille ancienne ayant son origine depuis au moins la fin du XV° siècle à Mognard, petit village situé à quelques kilomètres au sud-est d’Albens. Ses ancêtres, après avoir progressé dans la paysannerie dont ils ont fini par sortir, sont depuis trois ou quatre générations des notables locaux : châtelains, notaires, bourgeois de Chambéry, propriétaires fonciers attachés à leur terroir savoyard. La progression sur l’échelle sociale d’alors continue. Un de ses oncles a épousé une Demoiselle de Bracorens de Savoiroux, un autre une Demoiselle Muffat de St Amour. 1 Ses parents, Louis Marie Michaud et Marie Anne Montagnat, d’une ancienne famille du Bugey dans l’Ain, se sont mariés en 1765. Ils eurent sept enfants. Joseph était l’aîné. Son père est décrit dans son acte de mariage comme « commissaires es droits seigneuriaux de la paroisse d’albens en savoie diocèse de genêve demeurant depuis de nombreuses années à neuville sur ain en bresse. ». Rien ne pouvait laissait présager à sa naissance que Joseph aurait la carrière qu’il eut en France. Mais pourquoi en France ? Son père Louis Marie qui se destinait probablement au métiers des armes en Savoie dû s’exiler en France car il a avait fait une étourderie, une erreur, de jeunesse. L’étourderie ou l’erreur de jeunesse était en réalité grave. Voilà comment elle est relatée, pourtant sous un jour favorable, dans la notice sur Joseph, largement inspirée par son frère Louis Gabriel, dans la Biographie universelle : « Dans une partie de chasse, se trouvant pressé par le besoin de se rafraîchir, il [Louis Marie] entra dans une chaumière où il vit des huissiers saisissant, pour une modique somme de soixante francs, les meubles d’une malheureuse femme.

Durant cette longue période – de Valmy à Waterloo –, le pouvoir politique relégua aux oubliettes les beaux projets d’émancipation agités par Condorcet et Marie- Olympe de Gouges entre autres, et les nouvelles classes bourgeoises ne s’y intéressèrent pas comme en ont témoigné George Sand et d’autres femmes de la nouvelle génération. Si l’histoire a retenu que, pour les femmes, cette évolution fut une défaite en termes d’émancipation et de consécration légale de leur influence réelle, les documents issus des archives révèlent pourtant leur intérêt constant et leur participation active sous des formes inattendues et variées aux événements politiques de leur temps.

KNOPF, INC. ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED AS La Reaction Thermidorienne COPYRIGHT 1929 BY MAX LECLERC ET CIE UNIVERSAL LIBRARY EDITION, 1965 BY ARRANGEMENT WITH ALFRED A. KNOPF, INC. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOG CARD NUMBER: 65·14385 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PREFACE So far as order of time is concerned, M. M athie( s study of the Thermidorian Reaction, of which the present volume is a translation, is a continuation of his history of the French Revolution, of which the English version was published in 1928. In form and character, however, there is a notable difference. In the case of the earlier work the limitations imposed by the publishers excluded all references and foot-notes, and the author had to refer the reader to his other published works for the evidence on which his conclusions were based. In the case of the present book no such limitations have been set, and M. Mathiei: has thus been able not only to state his con­ clusions, but to give the chain of reasoning by which they have been reached. The Thermidorian Reaction is therefore something more than a sequel to The French Revolution, which M. Mathiei:, with perhaps undue modesty, has described as a precis having no independent authority; it is not only a work of art, but a weighty contribution to historical science.

Suddenly patriotic hymns, chansons , operas and instrumental works overthrew the supremacy of music merely for entertainment as the staple of musical life in France. It is the contention of this thesis that this ‘rupture’ had in fact been a long time developing, and that the germ of this process was sown in the philosophie of the previous decades.

  • The Calendar in Revolutionary France : Perceptions of Time in Literature, Culture, Politics / Sanja Perovic
    THE C A LENDA R IN REVOLUTIONARY FRANCE One of the most unusual decisions of the leaders of the French Revolution – and one that had immense practical as well as symbolic impact – was to abandon customarily accepted ways of calculating date and time to create a revolutionary calendar. The experiment lasted from 1793 to 1805 and prompted all sorts of questions about the nature of time, ways of measuring it and its relationship to indi- vidual, community, communication and creative life. This study traces the course of the revolutionary calendar, from its cultural ori- gins to its decline and fall. Tracing the parallel stories of the calen- dar and the literary genius of its creator, Sylvain Maréchal, from the Enlightenment to the Napoleonic era, Sanja Perovic reconsiders the status of the French Revolution as the purported ‘origin’ of modern- ity, the modern experience of time and the relationship between the imagination and political action. sanja perovic is Lecturer in the French Department at King’s College London.
