The revolutions in the England, North America, and France ushered
in the modern political age. Cultural Revolutions analyzes the
place of material culture, ritual, and everyday life during these
revolutions, providing a fresh and engaging interpretation of the
strategies used to transform people from monarchists into
republicans.The author shows how, faced with the challenge of
persuading large populations to alter their previous convictions
and loyalties, revolutionaries in all three countries turned to the
power of aesthetics. From the banning of dancing in Cromwell's
England, to the 'homespun' clothing of Revolutionary America, to
France's new calendar and naming systems, Auslander assesses how
daily habits and tastes were altered in the interests of political
change.
