Text of the page (random words):
nd why would they publish info that is decades old if their proclaimed objective is to provide their readers with a reference to current operations secrecy surrounding new techniques is one possible answer although 1 there are various examples where tourists visited sieges and fortifications at the invitation of the besiegers 2 cosmopolitan service meant one day s ally might be the next day s enemy 3 french newspapers described these new features in their published accounts and 4 participants certainly saw what was being practiced in front of their eyes as we see from defenders siege journals garrisons paid particularly close attention to the conduct of the trenches given vauban s many sieges you d think someone would ve caught on and bothered to write it down maybe even circulate it or maybe it s as simple and unenlightening as those who say don t know and those who know don t say to the extent that such books were intended to train an army to win a war possibly a questionable assumption but one that gruber and houlding make you d think someone in the government or army would want to coordinate this though perhaps the proprietary nature of regiments companies plays a role here maybe we re bumping up here against the false assumption of rational self improvement and modern professionalism or maybe the history of the book offers a better explanation than a purely military one maybe this difference between published manual and actual practice is best explained as attempts by publishers to just make a quick profit by republishing old works maybe it s cheaper to recopy an old work than interview veterans collate various news accounts this seems strange however because the public clearly clamored for the latest news from the front and manuals map collections advertised their relevance for following the latest news reports and siege accounts so you think somebody would notice the difference between 50 year old prescriptions and the latest siege details or maybe that particular genre manual treatise wasn t intended to serve the function we think it should today or maybe there was a huge circulation of manuscript manuals that the practitioners had which weren t available to the general public in print though i ve only seen one or two english ms treatises from the spanish succession cited by other historians maybe those that were outdated didn t sell very well but we don t have evidence for sales figures to know this so at the end of all these twists and turns reasons rebuttals and rejoinders i don t really have a good explanation we have texts published c 1700 that have bits from various centuries all cobbled together with little apparent concern for contemporary practice much less our tidy expectation that each period has its own unique flavor zeitgeist has anyone else written about this for ememh what do you think what else am i missing note for my current book i m more interested in the general question of military strategy battle and its alternatives but given what i know about siege warfare manuals i d ideally like to know how people responded to these broader art of war works since these 17c treatises are only a contextual chapter to my main focus on how the english talked about these issues in the spanish succession i m not worried i can see exactly how the ideas from these 17c manuals were discussed in 1701 1713 but a better sense of the background would be helpful nonetheless potential future posts how to figure out how others read military histories thoughts on gruber s methodology of counting personal library holdings suggested readings which i m making my way through right now danley mark military writings and the theory and practice of strategy in the eighteenth century british army ph d diss kansas

year we finally had our basement finished and being a child of the 70s i d grown up always wanting a pool billiards table to call my own so i finally achieved that modest childhood dream as the

on it go look a few things up and then continue reading for the answer read more november 29 2011 in bibliography leave a comment french logistics vote on the topic of the month for next year if you haven t already in december i ll post a number of bib catch up posts highlighting works on ememh published this year and summarizing a few historiographical trends a newly published article rowlands guy moving mars the logistical geography of louis xiv s france french history 25 no 4 2011 492 514 abstract this article considers france s military potential in the later seventeenth century through an examination of logistical resources and the communication systems that could link these resources to military operations it challenges the assumption that france possessed a military advantage as a geographically contiguous and resource rich territory apparently able to sustain military operations on interior lines it shows how both natural and institutional barriers handicapped france s efforts to support military operations despite the impressive levels of military mobilization achieved under louis xiv no wonder moving mars was so difficult november 26 2011 in miscellaneous leave a comment touché pussy cat yet another post thanksgiving caturday is upon us and since i m still digesting i ll keep it simple by reminiscing about the good old days of wholesome family entertainment i will admit that i don t think i ve seen many of the gazillion movies on the three musketeers so which one is the best and why the latest version with legolas and joan of arc has a bit of a steampunk vibe suggested readings dumas alexander the three musketeers 1844 many free english editions courtilz de sandras memoirs of monsieur d artagnan free 1898 english edition and if you like fantasy novels steven brust had a good series in a three musketeers type world with mostly hungarian sounding titles like taltos november 24 2011 in research leave a comment thanksgiving it s thanksgiving here in the u s which of course means turkey probably associated with anatolia because englishmen confused the american species with the more familiar guineafowl from africa imported into europe by the ottomans and football american football that is where they don t actually use the foot much and disdain those players that do as we ve discussed before language is fun back in the day at least in europe they didn t have a single thanksgiving holiday in late november but if you do a google books search on thanksgiving and limit it to the early modern period you will quickly discover that they did indeed have many many many days of thanksgiving yet these were not the gluttonous food fests of today but instead official days of prayer and righteous celebration declared by the government to celebrate military victory usually a battle or a successful campaign preachers used these opportunities to write present and publish sermons on the topic usually equating their country side with god s and thanking him for success and frequently calling for moral reform and regeneration at the same time when times were tough the preachers excoriated their sinful congregants for making god punish them with military defeat here is a title page from one of the orders of worship published at the time if your war went well you might have a day of thanksgiving every year the dutch averaged two per year between 1688 and 1713 or maybe you pretended to celebrate a victory in order to buoy domestic morale the english mocked the french for declaring te deum s to cover up their defeats for much of the 20c historians had argued that the thirty years war was the last of europe s wars of religion but over the past few decades numerous scholars studying the post westphalian period have pointed to practices like public days of thanksgiving in order to remind us of the ways in which religion continued to be intimately connected to war suggested readings haks donald propaganda from the pulpit in

impact google scholar style if you are an academic you undoubtedly know of google scholar if you teach your students certainly do it s primarily useful for the sciences hard and soft but it does include history titles as well i ll check it every once in awhile to check for new works or more importantly to see if any one else cites me gotta keep track of how many people recognize your brilliance so i was listening to the digital campus podcast the other day and they talked about a new feature of google scholar google scholar citation you sign in to your google account identify yourself and your publications and it will keep track of works citing yours as well as calculate impact scores used in europe for funding i ve heard the digital campus group expressed some concern about google knowing all that info about you but with a name like mine it s hard to keep authorship a secret since it s google scholar there are inevitably errors and omissions including in mine but here s a screen shot to give you an idea of what it looks like when it s set up google scholar citation example to give a comparison of what the metrics should look like here s the screen shot of my

more people commenting whoa flashback to class to encourage that i ve decided to start a topic of the month series at the beginning of each month starting in january i ll post some comments thoughts hypothesis questions literature about a particular topic relevant to ememh we can then spend the month discussing the topic and at the end i ll provide a summary post on what we ve argued and concluded maybe even make a permanent page with a visual summary comments will stay open after the month is over in case anyone wants to continue the discussion i ll also continue my regular variety of posts throughout and try to make at least a few of them relevant to the topic as well guest posts and questions are still welcome how will the topics be chosen you ask put it to the vote i say so here s the poll take our poll i ll try to do the topics in order of popularity although i m warning you right now that battle will be high on the list since that s what my current book project is on the specifics for each topic will vary and will be driven as much by your comments as by me but generally we could discuss historiographical trends address questions and challenges raised by eme aspects of each topic develop typologies and frameworks for better understanding the topic discuss important works on the topic etc maybe i ll even throw out a provocative statement or two for debate vote through the new year and i ll post a schedule of monthly topics to look forward to all year long since you re the ones doing the voting i expect some spirited discussion november 22 2011 in bibliography leave a comment british loyalty in 18c don t have access to this article it appears to be an early online release of a forthcoming issue through wiley online but it might be relevant to our recent discussions of mercenaries and nationalism plus it seems to directly address the issue of how contemporary language might have varied from more modern connotations mccormack matthew rethinking loyalty in eighteenth century britain journal for eighteenth century studies 21 nov 2011 abstract this article explores the meanings and applications of the term loyalty in britain between 1688 and 1815 political historians today employ the term in an instrumental way to connote obedience nationalism conservatism and monarchism this finds its expression in the phenomenon of loyalism this article instead argues that loyalism was not a current term in the eighteenth century and that loyalty had specific meanings for different political groups it could connote a religious a legal or an emotional tie as such the changing concept of loyalty is indicative of the shifting relationship between the individual and the state older posts search for recent posts world of the siege for sale
