For the journal French Studies, I reviewed the volume “Éloquences révolutionnaires et traditions rhétoriques (XVIIIe et XIXe siècles)” edited by Patrick Brasart, Hélène Parent and Stéphane Pujol.
The review can be found online here.

Review of Henk te Velde’s Sprekende politiek
Posted in Publications, tagged France, Great Britain, Henk te Velde, Nineteenth Century, Review, Rhetoric on December 16, 2016| Leave a Comment »
The recent issue of the Dutch journal De Negentiende Eeuw published my review of Henk te Veldes new study
Sprekende politiek: Redenaars en hun publiek in de parlementaire gouden eeuw
[Speaking Politics: Orators and their Audience in the Golden Age of Parliamentarism]
The book, which analyses the history of parliamentary rhetoric in Great Britain and France throughout the ‘long’ nineteenth century, comes highly recommened, both to scholars of the period and to a wider public.
Conference ‘Speaking in Parliament’
Posted in Conference, tagged Conference, France, July Monarchy, London, Nineteenth Century, Parliament, Politics, Rhetoric, Silence on March 27, 2016| Leave a Comment »
On April 6 to 7, I will participate in a conference organized by the History of Parliament research group in cooperation with Prof. Christopher Reid of Queen Mary University London.
The conference program may be found here.
My own paper, titled
“A Rhetoric of Silence: Silent Members in the July Monarchy Chamber of Deputies (1830-1848)”,
will be concerned with the rhetorical role of the silent members in the parliamentary debates of the July Monarchy. As I will argue, these silent members were anything but passive. Rather, they developed a complex rhetoric of their own, playing a significant role in the development of debates.
