Routledge Revivals

First published in 2002, Germain Boffrand's Livre d'Architecture is one of the most original books on architecture ever written in France. Translated for the first time the text is accompanied by an extensive introduction and notes which explain Boffrand's position within eighteenth century debates about architectural aesthetics.

This title was first published in 2002. Germain Boffrand was one of the great French architects of the early eighteenth century. His work encompassed not only the design of town and country houses for the wealthy but also mines, bridges and hospitals. His Livre d’Architecture is one of the most original books on architecture ever written in France. Taking the Art of Poetry by the Latin poet Horace as its starting point, it developed an aesthetic of architecture focused on character, style and the emotional impact of a building that influenced Blondel, Le Camus de Mezieres and Soane, and is still central to contemporary debate about the nature and meaning of architecture. Translated for the first time by David Britt, Boffrand’s text is here accompanied by an extensive introduction and notes by Caroline van Eck who situates Boffrand within the main issues of eighteenth-century architectural aesthetics. Beautifully illustrated, including all the pictures chosen by Boffrand for his original publication, this book is an invaluable tool for teaching the history of architectural theory and an essential work for any architectural library. Germain Boffrand is published with the assistance of the Getty Foundation.

Examining French ideological novels, Louise Lyle charts the development of French hostility towards social Darwinism during the fin de siècle. Lyle argues that the antagonism of a wide range of authors from diverse literary schools was a consequence of and a response to historically specific insecurities relative to the state of the French nation. Grounded in the cultural history of biology, Lyle's study is an important contribution to literature and the history of science.

Examining French ideological novels, Louise Lyle charts the development and motivation of French hostility towards social Darwinism during the fin de siècle. Lyle argues that the antagonism of authors from diverse literary schools was a consequence of and a response to historically specific insecurities relative to the state of the French nation. She analyzes works by Emile Zola, foremost among the literary naturalists and an exponent of 'scientific republicanism'; right-wing reactionaries Maurice Barrès and Paul Bourget; anarchist sympathiser Octave Mirbeau; pro-natalists and commentators on women's issues, Colette Yver and Marcel Prévost; and anti-Anglo-Saxonists, including Gustave Le Rouge, le Capitaine Danrit, and J.-H. Rosny. Lyle also investigates the legacy of the incorporation of social Darwinism by these authors in the work of post-World War II writers Vercors and Romain Gary and in contemporary fiction by Michel Houellebecq and Maurice Dantec. Grounded in the cultural history of biology, particularly in France, Lyle's study is an important contribution to literature and the history of science.

Social Darwinism in the French Ideological Novel

"Mindful of the present state of discourse on ancient Greek historiography, this edited volume explores the major themes of pursuing factuality, managing witness/source bias, falling into historical error and creating or confronting propaganda.

Mindful of the present state of discourse on ancient Greek historiography, this edited volume explores the major themes of pursuing factuality, managing witness/source bias, falling into historical error and creating or confronting propaganda. Even the greatest ancient historians, striving for factuality and truthfulness, must commence from subjectivity. Their works, when studied closely, reveal biases and conceptual or ideological distortions – their own and others’. For this reason, Misinformation, Disinformation and Propaganda in Greek Historiography strives to evaluate the issues which stand in the way of factuality in historical texts and records.
 
 The contributors, all experts in the field, explore and question the accuracy of the historiography in question; the ancient author’s fidelity to their sources; and the evidence presented in relation to inherited oral traditions. In this way, an ancient author’s methodology is evaluated in terms of its probability, the awareness of its cultural variation and the influences which we can deduce within the texts. This volume presents an important contribution to the study of what constitutes fact and fiction within ancient Greek historiography.

Writing Queer History introduces and surveys the ways in which historians and others have researched and written about the lesbian, gay and queer past. It pinpoints some of the key themes, issues and questions they have sought to address, looks at the kinds of sources they have used and suggests ways in which queer theory since the early 1990s has shifted approaches and perspectives for historians. Section One gives an overview of uses and accounts of the queer past from the late 19th century to the present. Section Two explores key questions and themes that have exercised historians by focusing on key texts ranging from the Medieval to the contemporary. Section Three focuses in further on different kinds of source material, examining specific archives to demonstrate how we might understand the past through particular documents, artifacts, voices and images. Finally, the author describes how his work has been shaped by his own biography, changing academic fashion, new theoretical perspectives and the particularities of archive collections. The book shows how histories of queer life have implications for the broader understanding of culture, society and politics, as well as demonstrating how queer history writing has been influenced and shaped by activist and community groups and by scholars working in and across different disciplines. Rich in case studies and including practical guidance on approaching queer history, Writing Queer History is an invaluable text for those studying the history of sexuality, gender history, the history of the emotions and historiography.

Traditionally, the in-fighting within the communist party during the Russian Civil War has been interpreted by historians as a struggle between good and evil, between Trotsky's democratically inclined party versus the later bureaucratic Stalinist version. This the view that Trotsky himself took, the line that R. V. Daniels supported in the 1960s, and which has remained in orthodoxy ever since. This book, in its analysis of the communist party from 1917 to 1922, challenges the simplicity of such dualistic historical arguments. 

What emerges from Lonergan's meticulous research is a party in constant flux, where conflict and compromise was prioritised ahead of calculation and strategy and where the desperate need to survive drove decisions forward. Indeed, the resultant autocratic structures and draconian resolutions were not merely the result of blind devotion to Lenin; as this book reveals, the unsettled and turbulent party membership in many ways actually pushed the leadership into an increasingly authoritarian stance. 

Examining the six party congresses that took place during the civil war and drawing from the political and personal archives of various party members, The Communist Party in the Russian Civil War is an exciting, novel, and much-needed re-assessment of the Soviet Union's formative political years.
