The return of Alsace to France, 1918-1939
In 1918, the end of the First World War triggered the return of Alsace and Lorraine to France after almost fifty years of annexation into the German Empire. Enthusiastic crowds in Paris and Alsace celebrated the return of the 'lost provinces', but return proved far more difficult than expected. Over the following two decades, politicians, administrators, industrialists, cultural elites, and others grappled with the question of how to make the region French again. Differences of opinion emerged, and reintegration rapidly descended into a multi-faceted struggle as voices at the Parisian centre, the Alsatian periphery, and outside France's borders offered their views on how to introduce French institutions and systems into its lost borderland. Throughout these discussions, the border itself shaped the process of reintegration, by generating contact and tensions between populations on the two sides of the boundary line, and by shaping expectations of what it meant to be French and Alsatian. This book is the first comprehensive account of the return of Alsace to France which treats the border as a driver of change. It draws upon national, regional, and local archives to follow the difficult process of Alsace's reintegration into French society, culture, political and economic systems, and legislative and administrative institutions.

Absolute monarchy on the frontiers
French territorial ambitions and consequent military activity during the reign of Louis XIV ensured that a number of territories bordering on France were subject to military occupation for strategic reasons from the 1660s onwards. Drawing on extensive archival research, this study presents the occupation of two of these territories, Lorraine and Savoy, from a comparative perspective. It investigates the aims and intentions of the French monarchy in occupying these regions, the problems of administering them, and French relations with key local elite groups. Absolute monarchy on the frontiers makes a significant contribution to understanding this crucial era in the development of civil-military relations. It also places the occupations of Lorraine and Savoy within the framework of recent scholarship on early modern border societies and frontiers, and on the practice of ‘absolutism’ at the frontiers of the French kingdom. The book will appeal particularly to scholars and students of early modern France and Europe.

Lotharingien und das Papsttum im Fruh- und Hochmittelalter: Wechselwirkungen im Grenzraum zwischen Germania und Gallia
Lotharingien, einst Kernlandschaft des karolingischen Groreichs, spater Rand- und Kontaktzone zwischen den Konigreichen Deutschland und Frankreich ist Gegenstand des vorliegenden Sammelbandes. Die Beitrage widmen sich den wechselseitigen Beziehungen zwischen den kirchlichen Institutionen der Region und dem Papsttum. Dabei entstehen nicht nur dichte Beschreibungen dieser Kontakte, ihrer Intensitaten, Anlasse und Konjunkturen im fruhen und hohen Mittelalter, sondern zugleich Ansatze einer regionalen Quellenkunde. Beides mag Anstoe geben zu einer systematischen Erforschung der Papstbeziehungen dieser Impulslandschaft im Herzen Europas und damit Perspektiven eroffnen fur eine kunftige Lotharingia pontificia.
