It raises questions about how this event re-orientated notions of  ‘citizenship’ and of service to ‘\u003ci\u003ela  Patrie’\u003c\/i\u003e. The opening lines of the Marseillaise are grandly declamatory: \u003ci\u003eAllons enfants de la Patrie\/le jour de  gloire est arrivé!\u003c\/i\u003e or, in English: \u003ci\u003eArise, children of the Homeland\/The day of  glory has arrived! \u003c\/i\u003eWhat do these words mean in their later  eighteenth-century French context? What was \u003ci\u003egloire\u003c\/i\u003e and how was it changed by the revolutionary process? This  military song, later adopted as the national anthem, represents a deceptively  unifying moment of collective engagement in the making of the modern French  nation. Valerie Mainz questions this through a close study of visual imagery  dealing with the issue of military recruitment.  From neoclassical painting to popular  prints, suchimages typically dealt with the shift from civilian to soldier,  focusing on how men, and not women, were called to serve the Homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-04-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349713028\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-54294-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 298\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752455401612,"sku":"9781349713028","price":25.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349713028.jpg?v=1775923946","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781349713028","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
