In the nineteenth century, the search for the artistic,
architectural and written monuments promoted by the French State
with the aim to build a unified nation transcending regional
specificities, also fostered the development of local or regional
identitary consciousness. In Roussillon, this distinctive
consciousness relied on a basically cultural concept of nation
epitomised mainly by the Catalan language - Roussillon being
composed of Catalan counties annexed to France in 1659. In The
Antiquarians of the Nation, Francesca Zantedeschi explores how the
works of Roussillon's archaeologists and philologists, who
retrieved and enhanced the Catalan specificities of the region,
contributed to the early stages of a 'national' (Catalan) cultural
revival, and galvanised the implicit debate between (French)
national history and incipient regional studies.
