The crystallization of counter-enlightenment and philosophe identities: theological controversy and catholic enlightenment in pre-revolutionary France: RECENT works of modern French history have found it fashionable, when focusing on the eighteenth century from across the jagged shoals of nineteenth- and twentieth-century France, to reductively treat Francophone national identity as the dialogical interaction of two related "imagined communities."

Carlyle through Nietzsche: reading Sartor Resartus: Carlyle's Sartor Resartus is given a new reading here in the light of Nietzsche's brief but suggestive comments on Carlyle and his dyspepsia.
