Most of the 34 essays focus on a single woman, but others discuss such groups as women in the Hutterite song book, women in Tiron who recanted, and women leaders in Augsburg.

Abstract

"David P. Silcox's eagerly awaited biography of David B. Milne (1882-1953) tells the remarkable story of one of Canada's great artists and his work. This book has been very much a labour of love by Silcox, a love for the work of the artist and an appreciation of his ideas. Lavishly illustrated and based on many years of research, Painting Place provides a perceptive analysis of Milne's work, both the paintings and the artist's voluminous and lively writings. The book balances words and pictures in a way that would surely have delighted its subject as it will its readers." "Milne's unique and striking images set him on a path of his own early in his life. He never sought fame or commercial success, but in time curators sought him out, critics hailed his work, and knowledgeable collectors bought his paintings and prints. Most important of all, he was a painter's painter, acknowledged by other artists as an innovator of supreme ability, an uncompromising master of technique, and a creator of memorable paintings."--Jacket.

Abstract

Merlin de Douai. Ce nom évoque d’abord la fameuse loi des suspects (sept. 1793), l’un des textes organisant la Terreur ; il rappelle le parcours ambigu d’un patriote des Etats généraux devenu conventionnel régicide, thermidorien, ministre du Directoire, président du Directoire exécutif puis comte d’Empire ; il suggère enfin l’image du « prince des jurisconsultes », auteur admiré du Répertoire de jurisprudence et procureur général impérial à la Cour de cassation. De l’Ancien Régime à la Monarchie de Juillet, à la frontière du droit et de la politique, Merlin mena en effet une riche et étonnante carrière qui lui fit longtemps jouer un important rôle public. C’est l’itinéraire de ce juriste du temps des Révolutions, ses projets et son action politique ainsi que sa pensée juridique et sociale qu’Hervé Leuwers a tenté de reconstituer ici. L’auteur s’est également interrogé sur le parcours de toute une génération politique, dominée par des juristes comme Merlin, Cambacérès, Treilhard, Lanjuinais et Boissy d’Anglas, dont l’engagement révolutionnaire s’éteignit dans l’adhésion à l’Empire. Par l’étude d’un homme dont les discours et l’action ont contribué à l’émergence du citoyen, à l’unification proclamée de la nation, à la réforme du droit et de la justice, à la laïcisation de l’Etat et de la société ou encore à la redéfinition des rapports entre les peuples, l’auteur a voulu approcher la lente et difficile élaboration d’une pensée et d’une pratique politiques d’avenir, dominées par les principes d’ordre et de liberté, ainsi que contribuer à l’étude de la montée d’une nouvelle catégorie d’hommes publics, les juristes, et plus particulièrement les avocats.
