Reflections on the Revolution in France
By: Burke, Edmund
Published by: Electric Book Company
Burke supported the American revolution but fought against the French. With his major work Reflections on the Revolution in France, written in 1790, he attacked the revolution and its rationalism and at the same time created a weapon for the counter revolution in England. Burke predicted with uncanny accuracy the Reign of Terror which lay ahead.

Scandal and Aftereffect
By: Ungar, Steven
Published by: University of Minnesota Press
Why have literary critics, as in the cases of Martin Heidegger and Paul de Man, chosen to ignore or suppress Blanchot's right-wing interwar and wartime writings, focusing instead on his postwar production? Scandal and Aftereffect provides an enlightening and provocative examination of this question, as Steven Ungar looks at 100 articles published under Blanchot's signature between 1932 and 1937 in such right-wing publications as Combat, Le Rempart, and l'Insurgé.

Soldiers of Christ
By: Taylor, Larissa
Published by: Oxford University Press (US)
In an age when the printed book was still in its infancy, the pulpit was the mass medium. A vital part of medieval religious life, sermons were the chief occasions on which the church attempted to bridge the gap between high theology and popular religious culture. A new look at late medieval
religious values and practices through the sermons of the day, this book offers intriguing insights into the beliefs and behaviors of ordinary Christians in the crucial era that saw the onset of the Protestant Reformation. Studying over 1,600 sermons given by the leading preachers in France between
1460 and 1560, Taylor examines the social context of preaching and the literary structure of the sermon to provide the background for a thorough analysis of the popular theology of the sermons, the preachers' attitudes toward men and women, and the preaching of and response to heresy in the decades
after 1520.

There Are No Slaves in France
By: Peabody, Sue
Published by: Oxford University Press - USA
There Are No Slaves in France examines the paradoxical emergence of political antislavery and institutional racism in the century prior to the French Revolution. Sue Peabody shows how the political culture of late Bourbon France created ample opportunities for contestation over the meaning of freedom. Based on various archival sources, this work will be of interest not only to historians of slavery and France, but to scholars interested in the emergence of modern culture in the Atlantic world.

Women and Slavery in the French Antilles, 1635-1848
By: Moitt, Bernard
Published by: Indiana University Press
Gender had a profound effect on the slave plantation system in the French Antilles. Moitt advances this argument by detailing and analyzing the social condition of enslaved black women in Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint-Dominique (Haiti), and French Guiana. He examines the lives of black women in bondage, evaluates the impact that the slave experience had on them, and assesses the ways in which women reacted to and coped with slavery in the French Caribbean for over two centuries.
