The book describes the enormous extent of the destruction of monuments, providing an antidote to the triumphalism and concomitant amnesia which in modern scholarship routinely present the 19th century as one of concern for the past. It charts the modernising impulse over several centuries, detailing the archaeological discoveries made (and usually destroyed) as walls were pulled down and town interiors re-planned, plus the brutal impact on landscape and antiquities as railways were laid out. Heritage was largely scorned, and identity found in modernity, not the past"--Provided by publisher.Heritage and identity (Series) ;volume 4.Cultural propertyProtectionFranceHistory19th centuryCultural propertyDestruction and pillageFranceHistory19th centuryHistoric buildingsConservation and restorationFranceHistory19th centuryArchitectureConservation and restorationFranceHistory19th centuryMonumentsConservation and restorationFranceHistory19th centuryLandscape protectionFranceHistory19th centurySocial changeFranceHistory19th centuryFranceAntiquitiesFranceAntiquities, RomanFranceCultural policyHistory19th centuryElectronic books.Cultural propertyProtectionHistoryCultural propertyDestruction and pillageHistoryHistoric buildingsConservation and restorationHistoryArchitectureConservation and restorationHistoryMonumentsConservation and restorationHistoryLandscape protectionHistorySocial changeHistory363.6/9094409034Greenhalgh Michael215207MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910511639603321Destruction of cultural heritage in 19th-century France2551765UNINA
