Memory and Modernity focuses on the first project of the renowned nineteenthcentury French architect and theorist EugneEmmanuel ViolletleDuc, the restoration of the Romanesque church of the Madeleine at Vzelay in Burgundy. This is the first booklength study to approach the work of ViolletleDuc from the perspective of institutional and social history.Kevin D. Murphy situates the Vzelay restoration project within the government architectural bureaucracy that emerged in the July Monarchy. Drawing on extensive archival records, he describes the controversy that arose from the restoration process, as changes in the physical form of the church, its permitted uses, and its place in history provoked heated exchanges among the Burgundy region and Paris, the Catholic clergy and government officials.Examining in detail the architect's transformation of the church of the Madeleine, the book also draws out the implications of the project for understanding ViolletleDuc's theoretical development. Murphy shows how ViolletleDuc's rationalist interpretation of medieval architecture informed the decisions that were made about the restoration, but also how that way of thinking was influenced by the architect's experience at Vzelay.
