Reviews
"One of France's most original historians, Alain Corbin has set himself the task of documenting the 'culture of the sense'in nineteenth-century France. Village Bells addresses the 'auditory landscape,'looking at the crucial place of sound as a means of communication in the lives of ordinary people: bells sounded alarms and celebrated joyous occasions, they spread news of individuals and men of state, announced arrivals and departures, summoned villagers to religious and civic ceremonies, and marked the passing of the hours of the day. The place of bells and the practice of bell-ringing could be a source of conflict and great political tension. Beautifully written, brilliantly interpreted, full of the stories that reveal the strange difference of the past, the book is at once a rich cultural history and a meditation on the craft of the historian -- a craft Corbin practices in startlingly imaginative and pleasingly unconventional ways." -- Joan W.
