Bette Oliver's book From Royal to National offers a comprehensive
and innovative look into the effects of the French Revolution on
the nation's culture and identity. As a direct result of the
Revolution of 1789, institutions previously under the crown's
jurisdiction were made into public symbols of nationalism. Through
the creation of both the Louvre and the Bibliotheque Nationale, the
Revolutionary Government worked to preserve great cultural works
and establish Paris as the cultural epicenter of the Western world.
Oliver delicately reveals the foresight and challenges these
scholars and specialists faced in safeguarding the valuable
artworks and literature from various raiding parties, including
repeated attempts at vandalism and the Terror of 1793-4. From Royal
to National is a rich text that will resonate among students of
French culture, as well as those interested in dynamics of art
history.
