‘Fantastical Steam Machines: Fuel and Energy in Nineteenth-Century Parisian revues de fin d’année’
Out now with @UNPjournals!
Faced with the ambivalence inspired by steam, some revue writers imagined a gallery of machines—at once monstrous, poetic, and fanciful—that captured these contradictions.
Out now in NCFS Spring-Summer 2025 (@UnivNebPress), Erin E. Edgington’s (@unevadareno) new piece 👇
“Emparons-nous du sol!”: Visions of Québec’s Fin-de-siècle Forests

She underscores the significance of the forest both as a fuel source and a metaphor for French-Canadian society rendered all the more arresting by the failure of the so-called French-Canadian “mission” in North America.
Up next in our Spring-Summer 2025 showcase, Édouard Bourdelle’s (Université de Strasbourg) piece:
‘Dominer la Nature, reproduire la Nature: enjeux de l’énergie à Paris’
(In 🇫🇷)
We’re back from a short break and excited to be spotlighting the latest from John Cropper (@CofC) in our special section, ‘Fueling the Nineteenth Century: Energy and Nineteenth-Century French Studies’, ed. by Cary Hollinshead-Strick (@auparis) and Anne O’Neil-Henry (@georgetown)!
