French Sculpture Following the Franco-Prussian War, 1870-80: Realist Allegories and the Commemoration of Defeat (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781409403524)

French Sculpture Following the Franco-Prussian War, 1870-80 investigates the role played by the trope of the 'strong woman, fallen man' in re-establishing morale among the French people following the Franco-Prussian War. Through in-depth study of selected works, Michael Dorsch explores how sculptors presented this recent history of defeat in commemorative monuments that increasingly dominated public space across France during the final decades of the nineteenth century.
