It raises questions about how this event re-orientated notions of 'citizenship' and of service to '\u003ci\u003ela Patrie'\u003c\/i\u003e. The opening lines of the Marseillaise are grandly declamatory: \u003ci\u003eAllons enfants de la Patrie\/le jour de gloire est arrivé!\u003c\/i\u003e or, in English: \u003ci\u003eArise, children of the Homeland\/The day of glory has arrived! \u003c\/i\u003eWhat do these words mean in their later eighteenth-century French context? What was \u003ci\u003egloire\u003c\/i\u003e and how was it changed by the revolutionary process? This military song, later adopted as the national anthem, represents a deceptively unifying moment of collective engagement in the making of the modern French nation. Valerie Mainz questions this through a close study of visual imagery dealing with the issue of military recruitment. From neoclassical painting to popular prints, such images typically dealt with the shift from civilian to soldier, focusing on how men, and not women, were called to serve the Homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValerie Mainz is Senior Lecturer in the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies at the University of Leeds, UK, having previously worked in both the commercial and subsidised sectors of the theatre.
