Introduced in 1793 and used until 1806, the Calendar not only reformed the weeks and months of the year, but decimalised the hours of the day and dated the year from the beginning of the French Republic. This book not only provides a history of the calendar, but places it in the context of eighteenth-century time-consciousness, arguing that the French were adept at working within several systems of time-keeping, whether that of the Church, civil society, or the rhythms of the seasons. Developments in time-keeping technology and changes in working patterns challenged early-modern temporalities, and the new calendar can also be viewed as a step on the path toward a more modern conception of time. In this context, the creation of the calendar is viewed not just as an aspect of the broader republican programme of social, political and cultural reform, but as a reflection of a broader interest in time and the culmination of several generations' concern with how society should be policed."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Calendar, Republican. 650 0 $a Calendar, Republican $x History. 650 0 $a Time measurements $x History. 651 0 $a France $x Intellectual life $y 18th century. 651 0 $a France $x Intellectual life $y 19th century. 710 2 $a Royal Historical Society (Great Britain) 830 0 $a Royal Historical Society studies in history. $p New series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20120704011743.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D83573A6C59D11E188F7F9E06AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
