Soldier and Peasant in French Popular Culture, 1766-1870
Author: David M. Hopkin
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 0861932587
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
"Concentrating on the militarised borderlands of eastern France, this book examines the disjuncture between the patriotic expectations of elites and the sentiments expressed in folksongs, folktales and popular imagery, in which issues of sexuality, violence and separation took far greater prominence. Hopkin follows the soldier through his life-cycle, from greenhorn recruit to grizzled veteran, to show how the peasant conscript was separated from his previous life and re-educated in military mores (and the response that this transformation elicited from his family and community)."--BOOK JACKET.

Knights and Peasants
Author: Nicholas Wright
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer Ltd
ISBN: 9780851158068
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Exciting and provocative... Overall, this courageous, well-written book provides us with a ground-breaking survey. It brings out a story of the Hundred Years War that has long needed to be told, and will deservedly form an essential addition to reading on the subject. HISTORY TODAY This alternative account of peasant life during crisis is a welcome addition to the historiography of late-medieval France... a useful corrective to most standard interpretations of warfare and peasantry. SPECULUM This study of the soldier-peasant relationship in the context of the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) aims to bring out the realities of the situation. It seeks an understanding of different attitudes: how aristocratic soldiers reconciled the ideals of chivalry with exploitation of non-combatants, and how French peasants reacted to the soldiery, drawing on the late-medieval literature of chivalry and political commentary in England and (especially) in France. Employing additional documentary material, including the largely unpublished records of the French royal chancery, the book also describes the ways in which individual peasants and village communities were exploited by soldiers, and how, in order to survive, they adjusted to and reacted against their treatment.

Book Description
This book analyzes the organization of the Venetian military structure in the Mainland Dominion in the Early Modern Period, particularly from the point of view of the everyday management of the army by rural communities. It explains the evolution of the Venetian military structure using an economic perspective, underlining that the military needs of the Republic had to be constantly moderated by the economic effects of the military requests on the local rural economy, but also considering the economic opportunities coming from military contracts.

Words and Their Stories
Author: Ban Wang
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004188614
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
As China joins the capitalist world economy, the problems of social disintegration that gave rise to the earlier revolutionary social movements are becoming pressing. Instead of viewing the Chinese Revolution as an academic study, these essays suggest that the motifs of the Revolution are still alive and relevant. The slogan “Farewell to Revolution” that obscures the revolutionary language is premature. In spite of dislocations and ruptures in the revolutionary language, to rethink this discourse is to revisit a history in terms of sedimented layers of linguistic meanings and political aspirations. Earlier meanings of revolutionary words may persist or coexist with non-revolutionary rivals. Recovery of the vital uses of key revolutionary words proffers critical alternatives in which contemporary capitalist myths can be contested.
