The Great Famine of 1789-1792 -...

Sarah Willards

The Great Famine of 1789-1792 stands as one of the most significant preconditions to the French Revolution. It was a period marked by widespread food scarcity, severe hunger, and social unrest. Although the famine itself was a direct consequence of several intertwined factors, it was also the tipping point that exposed the deep flaws within the French system of governance and society. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the famine, exploring its causes, the impact on the population, and the broader societal repercussions that contributed to the revolutionary atmosphere of the late 18th century.
At the heart of the famine was a series of poor harvests in France, exacerbated by harsh weather conditions. The years 1788 and 1789 saw a succession of bad weather, including a particularly harsh winter, followed by storms and a devastating hailstorm that destroyed much of the grain crops. These climatic anomalies caused a dramatic reduction in the food supply, especially in the vital grain harvests. With bread being the staple food for the majority of the population, the shortages led to skyrocketing prices. As bread became unaffordable for many, hunger spread rapidly, and it wasn’t just the peasantry but even urban dwellers who felt the pinch.
This agricultural crisis was further compounded by the weak response of the French monarchy and its institutions. King Louis XVI and his ministers were largely ineffective in addressing the immediate needs of the people. The government, which was already burdened by war debts and an inefficient taxation system, failed to ensure that food distribution was prioritized. The monarchy’s inability to manage the crisis led to widespread dissatisfaction and eroded any remaining faith the people had in their rulers.

Daddy Issues - Love and Hate in...

Katherine Angel

On the fraught bonds between daughters and their fathers, women, and the patriarchy 
 
 
 
In this beguiling, incisive book, critically acclaimed writer Katherine Angel examines the place of fathers in contemporary culture with her characteristic mix of boldness and nuance, asking how the mixture of love and hatred we feel toward our fathers—and patriarchal father figures—can be turned into a relationship that is generative rather than destructive. 
 
 
 
Moving deftly between psychoanalysis from Freud to Winnicott, cultural visions of fathering from King Lear to Ivanka Trump, and issues from incest to MeToo, Angel probes the fraught bond of daughters and fathers, women and the patriarchal regime. What, she asks, is this discomfiting space of love and hate—and how are we to reckon with both fealty and rebellion? 
 
 
 
As in her earlier book Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again, Angel proves herself to be one of the most perceptive feminist writers at work today.
