The Personality of Paris

Landscape and Society in the LongNineteenth Century

Alan R. H. Baker, University of Cambridge, UK What was the personality of 19th-century Paris? To answer that question, this book eschews the conventional narrative and chronological route taken by most histories of Paris. Instead, it thematically analyses the complex personality traits of Paris from the onset of the Revolution of 1789 to the beginning of the Great War. It considers the role of immigration in the making of Parisians. It examines the making of its distinctive landscape through the construction of monuments and architectural icons, its massive re-modelling by Napoléon III and Baron Haussmann, its five world exhibitions, its emphasis on food, fashion and leisure, and the ways in which Parisians sought rural release from urban pressure.

Perspectives on the Holocaust

Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ and the Holocaust

A Prelude to Genocide

Edited by John J. Michalczyk, Boston College, USA, Michael S. Bryant, Bryant University, USA & Susan A. Michalczyk, Boston College, USA Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ and the Holocaust sees celebrated international scholars analyze the book from various angles to demonstrate how it laid the groundwork for the Shoah through Hitler’s venomous attack on the Jews in his text. Split into three sections which focus on ‘contexts’, ‘eugenics’ and ‘religion’, the book reflects carefully on the point at which the Fuhrer’s actions and policies turn genocidal and whether Mein Kampf presaged Nazi Germany’s descent into genocide as readers are taken down the disturbing path from a hateful book to the Holocaust.

Antonino De Francesco, University of Milan, Italy This book provides a critical examination of over 300 historical works about the French Revolution, published in Europe (in particular in France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Russia) as well as in the United States between 1789 and 1989. It also explores recent trends in French Revolution historiography and considers where histories of this landmark event may go in the future. By emphasizing the elements which have been valued or hidden, exalted or silenced, Historicizing the French Revolution shows how reflections on 1789 are always fundamentally tied to the times, and often the places, in which they are formulated.
