The French Revolution of 1789 altered the face of power and the
institutions it inhabited in France, and the aftershocks of this
seismic change rippled throughout the nineteenth century. With
power changing hands between monarchy, empires and republics in
quick succession, the nature of power, both personal and political,
and institutions, both real and metaphorical, was constantly being
redefined, argued over and fought for. This volume provides
innovative analyses of nineteenth-century power relations in France
across a series of interlinked spheres: artistic, literary,
cultural, political, scientific and topographical. Its seventeen
chapters trace the direct impact of politics and the shifting power
of regimes on the creative arts, and explore power relations in a
wide range of contexts including novels, sculpture, painting,
education, religion, science, museums and exhibitions across a wide
geographical area from Paris to the provinces, southern France and
the colonies. The contributors, all experts in their fields, assess
the evolving relationship between institutions and power in
nineteenth-century France, exploring how the nation debates its
past, negotiates its present and, as the foundation of the Third
Republic ushers in a period of relative stability, sets about
creating its common future.
