Recenzii
Throughout the text, Oliver moves fluidly between providing a detailed...historical overview of major political events.
By juxtaposing the historical trajectories of the Louvre and the Biblothéque nationale, Bette Oliver makes a unique contribution to the study of French culture from 1789 to 1815. In this slim volume she offers a fascinating presentation of the events and individuals responsible for transforming two royal collections in public institutions that have become enduring symbols of France.
