Greenfeld, Nationalism (see Intro. , n. 21), 11, 89-188.
Here I take issue with Thiesse, especially in La cre? ation des identite? s nationales and her attempt to present French nationalism as fundamentally little differ- ent from other European varieties.
See Stuart J. Woolf, Napoleon's Integration of Europe (London, 1991).
See Weber, Peasants into Frenchmen (see Intro. , n. 28), 3-22, quote from 9. To be sure, these same bourgeois observers could also perceive the urban lower classes as dangerous and alien, but with the difference that the urban poor tended to be seen less as pure creatures of nature lacking in social organiza- tion, than as members of a corrupt, debauched form of society. In this sense, the distinction recapitulates the early modern distinction between "savages" and "barbarians. " See the classic analysis of Louis Chevalier, Classes laborieuses et classes dangereuses a` Paris pendant la premie`re moitie? du XIXe sie`cle (Paris, 1958).
See Woloch, The New Regime (see Ch. 5, n. 106), 197-222.
Weber, 68, 303-38. See also Antoine Prost, L'enseignement en France, 1800- 1967 (Paris, 1968).
Quoted in Weber, 332-33.
See Jacques and Mona Ozouf, "La Tour de la France par deux enfants," and Pierre Nora, "Lavisse, instituteur national," in Nora, ed. , Les lieux de me? moire (see Intro. , n. 33), I, 277-301 and 239-75.
See Chanet, esp. 216-23.
Most recently on this subject, see Alice Conklin, A Mission to Civilize: The Re- publican Idea of Empire in France and West Arica, 1895-1930 (Stanford, 1997). "Let us regard ourselves, you and I, in these cantons, as if we were in China or in Turkey, even though we are in the middle of Christianity, where one sees practically nought but pagans," a priest from the diocese of Nantes wrote to a colleague in 1731. Quoted in Chartier, Cultural Origins (see Intro. , n. 32), 104. For a sustained analysis of the comparison, see Dominique Deslandres, "Le mode`le franc? ais d'inte? gration socio-religieuse, 1600-1650: Missions inte? rieures et premie`res missions canadiennes," Ph. D. diss. , Universite? de Montre? al (1990).

? ? Note on Internet Appendices and Bibliography
It is, regrettably, impossible to publish a full bibliography and extensive ap- pendices in this book. However, the Internet has enabled scholars to pro- vide longer appendices and bibliographies than were ever normally in- cluded in academic books, albeit at the cost of physically separating this material from the text of the book itself.
I have therefore placed the following material on my own permanent web site, www. davidbell. net:
French Quotations: The original French for all citations that appear in this book in translation.
Appendix I: Ten selected engravings of "illustrious Frenchmen" (includ- ing Joan of Arc and Marie de Medicis) done after paintings by Philippe Champaigne and Simon Voue? t in the Palais Royal (now destroyed), ini- tially published in Marc Vulson de la Colombie`re, Les portraits des hommes illustres franc? ois, Qui sont peints dans la galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu, avec leurs principales Actions, Armes & Deuises (Paris, 1668), dis- cussed in Chapter 4.
Appendix II: The full text, including four engravings, of Antoine- Le? onard Thomas, Jumonville (Paris, 1759), discussed in Chapter 3.
Appendix III. The full text and a translation into English of Antoine- Hyacinthe Sermet, Discours prounounc? at dabant la legiou de Sant-Ginest, Pel. R. . P. Sermet, Exproubincial des Carme? s Descausse? s, Predicaire? ourdinari del Rey, &c. (Toulouse, 1790), discussed in Chapter 6.
Bibliography. A comprehensive guide to primary and secondary sources pertaining to patriotism and national identity in early modern and revolu- tionary France, and all other works cited in this volume.

Here I take issue with Thiesse, especially in La cre? ation des identite? s nationales and her attempt to present French nationalism as fundamentally little differ- ent from other European varieties.
See Stuart J. Woolf, Napoleon's Integration of Europe (London, 1991).
See Weber, Peasants into Frenchmen (see Intro. , n. 28), 3-22, quote from 9. To be sure, these same bourgeois observers could also perceive the urban lower classes as dangerous and alien, but with the difference that the urban poor tended to be seen less as pure creatures of nature lacking in social organiza- tion, than as members of a corrupt, debauched form of society. In this sense, the distinction recapitulates the early modern distinction between "savages" and "barbarians. " See the classic analysis of Louis Chevalier, Classes laborieuses et classes dangereuses a` Paris pendant la premie`re moitie? du XIXe sie`cle (Paris, 1958).

See Chanet, esp. 216-23.
Most recently on this subject, see Alice Conklin, A Mission to Civilize: The Re- publican Idea of Empire in France and West Arica, 1895-1930 (Stanford, 1997). "Let us regard ourselves, you and I, in these cantons, as if we were in China or in Turkey, even though we are in the middle of Christianity, where one sees practically nought but pagans," a priest from the diocese of Nantes wrote to a colleague in 1731. Quoted in Chartier, Cultural Origins (see Intro. , n. 32), 104. For a sustained analysis of the comparison, see Dominique Deslandres, "Le mode`le franc? ais d'inte? gration socio-religieuse, 1600-1650: Missions inte? rieures et premie`res missions canadiennes," Ph. D. diss. , Universite? de Montre? al (1990).

? ? Note on Internet Appendices and Bibliography
It is, regrettably, impossible to publish a full bibliography and extensive ap- pendices in this book. However, the Internet has enabled scholars to pro- vide longer appendices and bibliographies than were ever normally in- cluded in academic books, albeit at the cost of physically separating this material from the text of the book itself.
I have therefore placed the following material on my own permanent web site, www. davidbell. net:
French Quotations: The original French for all citations that appear in this book in translation.
Appendix I: Ten selected engravings of "illustrious Frenchmen" (includ- ing Joan of Arc and Marie de Medicis) done after paintings by Philippe Champaigne and Simon Voue? t in the Palais Royal (now destroyed), ini- tially published in Marc Vulson de la Colombie`re, Les portraits des hommes illustres franc? ois, Qui sont peints dans la galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu, avec leurs principales Actions, Armes & Deuises (Paris, 1668), dis- cussed in Chapter 4.
Appendix II: The full text, including four engravings, of Antoine- Le? onard Thomas, Jumonville (Paris, 1759), discussed in Chapter 3.
Appendix III. The full text and a translation into English of Antoine- Hyacinthe Sermet, Discours prounounc? at dabant la legiou de Sant-Ginest, Pel. R. . P. Sermet, Exproubincial des Carme? s Descausse? s, Predicaire? ourdinari del Rey, &c. (Toulouse, 1790), discussed in Chapter 6.
Bibliography. A comprehensive guide to primary and secondary sources pertaining to patriotism and national identity in early modern and revolu- tionary France, and all other works cited in this volume.
