It feels like Anglo-saxon historiography is : bold hypothesis, three cases, done. French historiography : twenty years of mumbling over parish records to confirm it - and arrive fashionably late to the conversation. 🗃️

I travelled to NYC to help launch (last night) Joanna Stalnaker's astonishing new book _The Rest is Silence: Enlightenment Philosophers Facing Death_. The book is a treasure, humane and moving: a vindication both of the #18thc philosophes and of what literary studies scholarship can do with them.

Thrilled to see the news on @hfrancewebsite.bsky.social that the '25 @sfhs.bsky.social Pinkney Prize for Best Book in French History went to... my 🗃️ bestie @jenniferheuer.bsky.social's THE SOLDIER'S REWARD: Love and War in the Age of the French Revolution and Napoleon! 🥳 So proud of my friend!! 💙

Text: In this groundbreaking book, Jennifer Heuer paints a vivid picture of the impact of prolonged warfare on the family and intimate relations during the revolutionary era. The book brings together a rich collection of military history sources (such as troop records, soldiers’ memoirs, and debates about conscription) and cultural history sources (such as music, art, plays, and festivals). The experiences and strategies of individual families are further illustrated in family letters and journals, police reports, and court records. Heuer details how soldiers were promised many things, including financial rewards, patriotic honor, and a happy family life once their military service was completed. The book deftly elucidates what prolonged warfare meant to soldiers and their families. This includes debates surrounding whether soldiers should marry and efforts to encourage marriage following demobilization, such as state-sponsored marriage rituals under Napoleon. The book also tackles the question of female military service and the extent to which women were recognized as veterans. Other highlights of the book include rich detail about men’s strategies to avoid lengthy military service, such as petitions for early demobilization and sham marriages. Heuer's expert analysis throughout the book illuminates how soldiers and their families navigated the disruptions of military service amidst a changing political landscape. Heuer’s inclusion of the Restoration period further illustrates the long-term impact of revolutionary warfare on families, notions of citizenship, and martial masculinity.
