Project for American and French Research on the Treasury of the French Language. "It soon became apparent that this corpus of French texts was an important resource not only for lexicographers, but also for many other types of
humanists and social scientists engaged in French studies - on both sides of the Atlantic. The result of this realization was American and French Research
on the Treasury of the French Language (ARTFL) -- a cooperative project established in 1981 by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
and the University of Chicago." Arthur Young, Travels in France (1792)(677 clicks)
"Robinson's Note: Of all the descriptions that we have of the general condition of the French people upon the eve of the Revolution, the most important and interesting is Arthur Young's account of his travels in France during the years 1787, 1788, and 1789. Young was an honest and observant English gentleman farmer, whose aim was to ascertain "the cultivation, wealth, resources, and national prosperity" of France, which were, as he foresaw, to be fundamentally changed by the Revolution then under way. His book, first published in 1792, met with immediate success, and still fascinates even the casual reader. In I787 Arthur Young visited Paris and Versailles, then traveled southward as far as the Pyrenees." Be Realistic--Demand the Impossible!(481 clicks)

The Dreyfus case underscored and intensified bitter divisions within French politics and society. The fact that it followed other scandals — the Boulanger affair, the Wilson case, and the bribery of government officials and journalists that was associated with the financing of the Suez Canal — suggested that the young French Republic was in danger of collapse. The controversy involved critical institutions and issues, including monarchists and republicans, the political parties, the Catholic Church, the army, and strong anti-Semitic sentiment.The Bonnot Gang: The Story of the French Illegalists(298 clicks)
"This is the story of the infamous Bonnot Gang: the most notorious French anarchists ever, and the inventors of the motorized get-away. It is the story of how the anarchist taste for illegality developed into illegalism - the theory that theft is liberating. And how a number of young anarchists met in Paris in the years before the first world war, determined to live their lives to the full, regardless of the inevitable - and tragic - consequences. A gripping historical thriller, Parry narrates their lives and background - a Paris of riots, strikes and savage repression. A stronghold of foreign exiles and home-grown revolutionaries. Victor Serge and 'l'anarchie' the individualist weekly. Their robberies, daring and violent, would give them a lasting notoriety in France. Their deaths, as spectacular as their lives, would make them a legend amongst revolutionaries the world over.

What Were the Motives Behind the Man?(324 clicks)
" No figure of the French Revolution has aroused so much controversy as that of Maximilien Robespierre. He is known to most people as the symbol of the
Reign of Terror, a short but horrifying period where approximately 17,000 people died in prison in terrible conditions or were executed on the simple
suspicion of being a traitor. But did he really set out from the beginning to become the virtual dictator of France and evil tyrant he is now made out to be,
or was his original motive an idealistic, and somewhat naive, image of peace and equality, later altered by the effects of power and influence? "Women in the French Revolution(396 clicks)
