La Maison de Salomon est le nom que donne l'homme d'État anglais Francis Bacon à l'institution imaginaire décrite dans son récit utopique La Nouvelle Atlantide : une confrérie dont les membres s'efforcent de mettre les sciences, les inventions et les techniques au service du bien commun. L'idée est puissamment mobilisatrice et constitue l'un des moteurs, quelques décennies plus tard, de la création des académies scientifiques française et anglaise. Mais cette « maison » existe déjà quand paraît en 1627 l'utopie baconienne. Elle est constituée de tous ceux, inventeurs, professeurs, fabricants d'instruments mathématiques, libraires spécialisés ou ingénieurs qui font des sciences et techniques leur occupation. Comment vivre de son savoir lorsqu'on n'était pas gentilhomme comme Descartes ? Quelles opportunités se présentaient à ceux qui, de part et d'autre de la Manche, cultivaient les sciences et les techniques ? Quelle place leur réservaient des sociétés d'Ancien Régime qu'on croit souvent, avec quelque raison, rétives ou étrangères à la rationalité scientifique moderne ? Comment et par qui ces hommes étaient-ils protégés ? Loin de l'image classique du mécénat aristocratique et royal, cette enquête montre que le patronage dont ils bénéficiaient revêtait bien des aspects et mobilisait de nombreux mécènes au petit pied, dans l'administration monarchique et ailleurs. En revenant sur les carrières de dizaines de savants et techniciens français et anglais du xviie siècle, cet ouvrage éclaire ainsi des aspects méconnus de la formation de l'État moderne et de l'émergence de la science expérimentale.

En mars 1789, Pierre-François Lepoutre, fermier à Linselles, est élu député de la gouvernance de Lille aux États généraux ; son élection constitue en elle-même un épisode révélateur de la dynamique politique dans laquelle la France est engagée. Notre paysan croyait sans doute rester quelques semaines à Versailles ; en fait, membre de l’Assemblée devenue nationale constituante, il séjourne au cœur de la France en révolution et reste deux ans et demi loin de la ferme des Wattines que dirige son épouse, Angélique Lepoutre-Delputte. Ainsi séparé, le couple échange près de 500 lettres. Ce volume restitue fidèlement la majeure partie de cette correspondance exceptionnelle. Elle constitue une évocation très concrète de l’histoire générale de la Révolution tout en fourmillant de notations sur les préoccupations quotidiennes des députés. Mais cette correspondance à double sens permet aussi d’appréhender l’indéniable mise en mouvement des provinces par l’événement révolutionnaire. On perçoit bien la complexité des adhésions et des refus à l’égard du changement en cours, l’enchevêtrement des espoirs et des inquiétudes dans les campagnes flamandes qui ne sont pas aussi immédiatement antirévolutionnaire qu’on le prétend parfois. À côté des grands engagements et de la grave question religieuse, c’est une multitude de préoccupations qui s’enchevêtrent : des problèmes de subsistance à la contrebande, de la révolution brabançonne aux rumeurs de guerre, des contributions patriotiques aux problèmes des assignats. Par ailleurs, les lettres nous font pénétrer à la fois dans une exploitation agricole et dans la vie d’une famille de notables villageois. L’intensification de l’agriculture et la diversification des activités, l’importance des fêtes familiales et l’étendue du réseau de relations, où figurent bien des noms connus, le souci du député de sauvegarder son approvisionnement en beurre flamand et l’impatience de l’épouse, sur qui pèse lourdement cette longue séparation,…

Las buenas relaciones que había entre México y Gran Bretaña se empezaron a deteriorar a partir de la Revolución mexicana. A mediados de los años veinte llegaron a un nuevo acuerdo que duró poco, ya que la nacionalización de la industria petrolera afectó los intereses ingleses. Fue hasta la mitad del siglo cuando se liquidaron las inversiones e intereses tradicionales británicos y se reconciliaron definitivamente el gobierno de Su Majestad británica y el nuevo régimen mexicano posrevolucionario.

This open access book maps a crucial but neglected chapter in the history of psychiatry: how was melancholia transformed in the nineteenth century from traditional melancholy madness into a modern biomedical mood disorder, paving the way for the emergence of clinical depression as a psychiatric illness in the twentieth century? At a time when the prevalence of mood disorders and antidepressant consumption are at an all-time high, the need for a comprehensive historical understanding of how modern depressive illness came into being has never been more urgent. This book addresses a significant gap in existing scholarly literature on melancholia, depression, and mood disorders by offering a contextualised and critical perspective on the history of melancholia in the first decades of psychiatry, from the 1830s until the turn of the twentieth century.

The role played by women in the evolution of religious art and architecture has been largely neglected. This study of upper-class women in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries corrects that oversight, uncovering the active role they undertook in choosing designs, materials, and locations for monuments, commissioning repairs and additions to many parish churches, chantry chapels, and almshouses characteristic of the English countryside. Their preferred art, Barbara J. Harris shows, reveals their responses to the religious revolution and signifies their preferred identities.
