Victor Hugo and the Politics of Masculinity, Representations of Nineteenth-Century French Virility in Les Châtiments (1853)

This thesis demonstrates how 19th-century French author Victor Hugo used masculinity as a trope to illustrate the sociopolitical destruction of France under the Second Empire of Napoleon III. Using Hugo’s collection of poems in Les Châtiments (1853) as the primary point of inquiry, analysis of his literary work and political interventions shows how the author depicted Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte as a tyrant whose tenure as Emperor precipitated the destruction of France’s national sense of virility. Hugo in turn, I contend exhorts the French people to recuperate their virility in order to reject Napoleon III. Furthermore, I examine the historical relationship between Napoleon III and his uncle, Napoleon I, and how Napoleon III’s appropriation of the symbolism that characterized Napoleon I allowed Hugo to emasculate Napoleon III for representing the antithesis to his uncle’s likeness. Finally, this thesis explores how Hugo’s literature and political activism revirilized France at the beginning of the Third Republic.Bachelor of Art

Louis Napoleon in Browning\u27s Prince Hohenstiel-Schwangau: A True Portrait of a Double Personality

The following study consists of an attempt to show that Robert Browning has drawn a reliable portrait of Louis Napoleon, the last Emperor of the French, in the poem Prince Hohenstiel-Schwangau, Saviour of Society. The study is divided into four parts. Chapter I is concerned with the questions of whether Browning has allowed his artistic ability to prevent him from presenting the true portrait of Louis Napoleon and whether Prince Hohenstiel-Schwangau deserves to be called a poem. Chapter II traces the development of Browning\u27s interest in Louis Napoleon and states why the poet wrote the self-apology of the Emperor\u27s life. Chapter III is devoted to the poet\u27s technique in the composition of the poem and in drawing the portrait of the Emperor. Chapter IV is an analysis of Louis Napoleon\u27s policy as it is presented in Prince Hohenstiel-Schwangau

Letter written by Napoleon Buonaparte (Bonaparte) to Guillaume Thomas Francois Raynal, June 24, 1790

Translation: Sir, It will probably be difficult for you to remember among the many strangers who annoy you with their admiration of a person to whom you kindly made civilities last year1 during a pleasant conversation about Corsica. I would be grateful if you could take a look at this sketch of his history.2 I present here the first of two letters. If you agree to them, I will send you the end. My brother, whom I recommend not to forget his deputies' commission to escort Paoli to his country,3 and to come and receive a lesson in virtue and humanity, will give them to you. I respectfully your most humble and obedient servant.4 Buonaparte, artillery officer Ajaccio, [Corsica] June 24 the first year of freedom [1790]5 1 Relations between Napoleon and Raynal have begun in 1789, which seems to confirm a confidence to Las Cases ( Memorial of St. Helena , La Pléiade , vol. I, p. 83) . 2 Latest version of history project of Corsica : Letters on Corsica to Abbe Raynal . 3 Joseph is part of a delegation sent by the city of Ajaccio to host Paoli 's return from exile in London . In doing so he has to go through Marseille where Raynal resides. 4 Shipping autograph, National Archives , 400 AP Biography 1. In the first years of Napoleon Bonaparte (1840) , Coston gives a rough version of this letter that it dates from 1786 , which is impossible because Raynal did not return to France that ' in 1787. Published for the first time in the Memories of Lord Holland (1851) , shipping is now kept in the national Archives Napoleons funds . 5 The letter is dated "June 24, the first year of freedom" (the word "freedom" is underlined twice). Given the dates of stay in Corsica Napoleon, it seems that is present in Ajaccio the month of June in 1790.A letter written by Napoleon Buonaparte to Guillaume Thomas Francois Raynal, dated at Ajaccio [Corsica] June 24 the first year of freedom [1790].

The man who invented descriptive geometry

Gaspar Monž je poznat kao otac moderne nacrtne i diferencijalne geometrije . Godine 1764. angažovan je da izradi detaljan nacrt utvrđenja u svom rodnom gradu i njegov rad je primetio jedan oficir iz vojne škole École Royale du Génie de Mézières. Budući da je nacrt bio jako dobar, metode koje je Monž koristio čuvane su kao vojna tajna dugi niz godina. Godine 1780. Monž je postao član Akademije nauka i učestvovao je u radu Komiteta za tegove i mere, koji je imperijalni merni sistem prevodio u metrički. Gaspar je pomogao u osnivanju škole École Centrale des Travaux Publics (kasnije École Polytechnique) gde je i predavao nacrtnu geometriju. Godine 1798. Napoleon je krenuo u pohod na Egipat i zamolio je čuvenog hemičara Kloda Bertolea da regrutuje istaknute naučnike koji bi mu se pridružili u pohodu. Među njima su bili Furije, Monž, Dolomju i Malu. Napoleon je osnovao Egipatski institut i Monž je bio njegov prvi direktor. Gaspar Monž je preminuo 28. jula 1818. godine u Parizu. Njegovo ime je urezano u temelj Ajfelovog tornja i to na mestu tačno preko puta Vojne akademije. Pored nacrtne geometrije, Monž se bavio hemijom i fizikom.Gaspard Monge is known as the father of modern descriptive and differential geometry. In 1764, he was engaged to draw a detailed plan of a fortification in his hometown, which was seen by an officer at the École Royale du Génie de Mézières. This plan was a success and his techniques were marked as a military secret for a long period of time. In 1780, he was elected to the Academy of Science and participated in the work of the Commission for Weights and Measures, that was in charge of moving the system from imperial to metric. In 1794, Monge helped setting up the École Centrale des Travaux Publics (later École Polytechnique) where he was lecturing Descriptive Geometry. In 1798, Napoleon undertook a campaign in Egypt. The famous chemist Claude Louis Berthollet was asked to recruit prominent scientists. Among them were Fourier, Monge, Dolomieu and Malus. Institut d'Egypte was established by Napoleon and Monge was named as its first president. Monge passed away on July 28, 1818. His name is inscribed on the base of the Eiffel Tower and it is located on the third façade opposite the Military Academy. Besides descriptive geometry, he carried on many different researches in chemistry and physics
