Abstract

"The island of Sicily is at the heart of the Mediterranean and from ancient times to the present day it has been a hub of migration and settlement. Following on from the British Museum's critically acclaimed 2016 exhibition 'Sicily: culture and conquest', this volume considers the history and material culture of the different peoples occupying Sicily at key points in the island's history. Part I concentrates on ancient Sicily during the time of Greek settlement, exploring themes such as the creation of urban centres during this period and the production of Sicilian terracotta between the 5th and 4th centuries BC. In Part II, the focus shifts to the Middle Ages, Sicily's period of enlightenment under Muslim and Norman rules, with key themes including Norman identity and the use of the Norman legacy in the 19th century. 0With contributions from international experts in the field, the volume presents new insights into the economy, architecture and social identity of the island, including research on recently excavated sites. The result is a rich collection of essays that provides a comprehensive overview of this cosmopolitan island's unique identity and its significance in a wider Mediterranean context."--4ème de couverture

Abstract

The love story of Susanna Moodie and her husband John has always been a shadowy area in Canadian literary history. Susanna did not reveal much about the relationship in her most famous book, Roughing it in the Bush, not only a little more revealed about it in the 1985 collection of her correspondence, Susanna Moodie: Letters of a Lifetime. But in 1988 a large number of 'new' Moodie papers came to light. Among them was an exchange of letters between husband and wife, never before seen outside the family. These letters reveal an enduring mutual love and respect. They cover the days of their courtship and emigration, the periods apart from each other during and after the 1837 rebellion, life in Belleville as public figures in their respetive ways; their involvement with spiritualism, their later years and eventual separation of death. The essays and notes which accompany each section provide information useful for understanding the letters themselves, and the volume is extensively cross-referenced to Susanna Moodie: Letters of a Lifetime. Partly a love story, partly a fascinating view of nineteenth-century social history and developments in early Ontario, these letters are a moving revelation of two important Canadian ancestors.

Abstract

Les français de la belle époque. C'est seulement autour de 1940 qu'on parle de la Belle Époque. Ces quelques années qui précèdent la Première Guerre mondiale ont suscité beaucoup de curiosité, maintes recherches, mais il en a rarement été donné un tableau d'ensemble. Tel est l'objet du présent ouvrage. Il a l'ambition d'embrasser toutes les facettes de ces deux décennies brillantes, remuantes, d'un essor économique remarquable, d'une créativité sans égale, traversées néanmoins de conflits récurrents, violents, parfois meurtriers. Antoine Prost va à la rencontre des Français dans leurs villages, leurs quartiers, leurs échoppes, leurs ateliers... Il interroge leur quotidien, leurs traditions, leurs habitudes alimentaires, leur manière de se vêtir, leur hygiène précaire, leur intimité... Il restitue les passions qui les travaillent et les opposent, sur la place des ouvriers dans la cité, la religion, l'école, la laïcité - en plein conflit entre l'Église et l'État ; mais aussi sur la mission de l'armée dans la République, alors que la France achève ses conquêtes coloniales, fière d'être redevenue une grande puissance. À la veille d'une guerre que peu voient venir, la France est-elle en mesure de la soutenir ? Cette société divisée entre des élites toujours puissantes et un peuple toujours pluriel d'où commencent à émerger des classes moyennes a pourtant trouvé dans la République son principe d'unité. Tel est le legs méconnu de la Belle Époque. En la revisitant, ce livre fait comprendre comment le pays a pu traverser sans se défaire quatre années d'épreuves terribles qui allaient le transformer en profondeur.
