Revolutionary Europe 1789-1815

H. Morse Stepehens

Maison d'édition: Classicus

Synopsis

The years between 1789 and 1815 saw the collapse of monarchies, the rise of revolutionary ideals, and the emergence of a new political order that would define modern Europe. In Revolutionary Europe, 1789-1815, first published in 1897 and now republished by Classicus, historian H. Morse Stephens provides a compelling and deeply researched account of this extraordinary period, tracing the forces that reshaped an entire continent. From the fall of the French monarchy and the upheaval of the Reign of Terror to Napoleon Bonaparte’s sweeping military conquests, Stephens captures the events that shattered the old world and built the foundations of a new one.     The book follows the dramatic transformation of France from an absolute monarchy to a republic consumed by internal struggles, where ideals of liberty and equality soon gave way to radicalism and political violence. Stephens explores the rise of the Jacobins, the execution of Louis XVI, and the wars that erupted as revolutionary France challenged the great European powers. Against this backdrop of turmoil, Napoleon Bonaparte rose to prominence, seizing control of France and turning its revolutionary energy outward. His campaigns, marked by brilliance and ambition, reshaped the balance of power in Europe, toppling dynasties and spreading revolutionary principles even as he built an empire of his own.     Yet this era was about more than just military conquest and political upheaval. Revolutionary Europe, 1789-1815 examines the deeper transformations that took root—new ideas of nationalism, shifts in governance, and the codification of laws that would influence generations to come. Stephens provides a clear analysis of how revolutionary thought challenged traditional hierarchies and how the Napoleonic era forced Europe’s rulers to confront the realities of popular sovereignty and reform. Even as Napoleon fell and the old monarchies were restored, the world that emerged from this period was fundamentally changed, setting the stage for the revolutions and conflicts that followed.     Engaging, authoritative, and rich in detail, Revolutionary Europe, 1789-1815 remains an essential resource for understanding the political and social transformations that defined the late 18th and early 19th centuries. With a historian’s depth and a storyteller’s eye, Stephens reconstructs a time of extraordinary upheaval, when Europe was reshaped by revolution, war, and the relentless struggle for power.

The Black Sea - poems

Stephanos Papadopoulos

In this third collection of poems Papadopoulos addresses the historical subject of the Pontic Greek massacre in the 1920’s in a series of “sonnet-monologues” that link cinematically to create a very specific, semi-fictional account of a group of people living within this particular historic context.  His own  Greek family is of Pontic and Cretan origin, and he traveled the black sea extensively while writing these poems, but the abstracted landscapes and the slightly “grotesque” characters that inhabit these poems lead anyone, regardless of his/her knowledge of the region,  into a new and intimate relationship with this volatile and tragic story. 
"The Black Sea won’t be for everyone. The subject is unrelentingly dark, rarely leavened by humor, and the history involved is known to few Americans. But it is a superb book, ambitious without being verbose. His opening poem meditates on the role of the poet in history, and in this subject alone he has plenty of company among Greek writers like Cavafy and Ritsos. The texture of cultural allusion in some of these poems is quite rich, yet the book dispenses with footnotes and leaves us to find our own way. Most of the poems can be read as little dramas in which vital characters have everything at stake. "     David Mason, The Hudson Review

Bayard Rustin - A Legacy of...

Michael G. Long

While we can all recall images of Martin Luther King Jr. giving his "I Have a Dream" speech in front of a massive crowd at Lincoln Memorial, few of us remember the man who organized this watershed nonviolent protest in eight short weeks: Bayard Rustin. 
 
 
 
This was far from Rustin's first foray into the fight for civil rights. As a world-traveling pacifist, he brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the forefront of US civil rights demonstrations, helped build the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, led the fight for economic justice, and played a deeply influential role in the life of Dr. King by helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolent resistance. Rustin's legacy touches many areas of contemporary life—from civil resistance to violent uprisings, democracy to socialism, and criminal justice reform to war resistance. 
 
 
 
Despite these achievements, Rustin was often relegated to the background. He was silenced, threatened, arrested, beaten, imprisoned, and fired from important leadership positions, largely because he was an openly gay man in a fiercely homophobic era. This volume draws a full picture of Bayard Rustin: a gay, pacifist, socialist political radical who changed the course of US history and set a precedent for future civil rights activism, from LGBTQ+ Pride to Black Lives Matter.
