Paperback. Zustand: New. In 1682 the French explorer René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle claimed the Mississippi River basin for France, naming the region Louisiana to honor his king, Louis XIV. Until the United States acquired the territory in the Louisiana Purchase more than a century later, there had never been a revolution, per se, in Louisiana. However, as Jennifer Tsien highlights in this groundbreaking work, revolutionary sentiment clearly surfaced in the literature and discourse both in the Louisiana colony and in France with dramatic and far-reaching consequences.In Rumors of Revolution, Tsien analyzes documented observations made in Paris and in New Orleans about the exercise of royal power over French subjects and colonial Louisiana stories that laid bare the arbitrary powers and abuses that the government could exert on its people against their will. Ultimately, Tsien establishes an implicit connection between histories of settler colonialism in the Americas and the fate of absolutism in Europe that has been largely overlooked in scholarship to date.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - C'est quasi un lieu commun, dans la France du XVIIIe siècle, de blâmer le mauvais goût et la corruption de l'époque. Si celui-ci continue à envahir la France, il ne manquera pas d'entraîner, après l'apogée du Grand Siècle, le déclin de la nation, affirment les philosophes. Aussi la diminution de l'illettrisme, loin de susciter l'enthousiasme, est-elle perçue par bon nombre d'entre eux comme une menace, et d'acerbes critiques prétendent remettre dans le droit chemin les lecteurs peu instruits qui ont des prédilections pour les romans gothiques, pour les bagatelles du Mercure galant ou pour l'orientalisme vulgaire. Voltaire, Montesquieu, Diderot comme divers théoriciens de l'esthétique tentent ainsi d'établir une définition du bon goût qui leur permette de rejeter et de condamner à l'oubli les oeuvres qui s'en écartent et qui n'en sont pas moins, à nos yeux, représentatives de la variété des livres que l'on retrouve sur les étals des libraires avant la Révolution.…
