Presentism and the Politics of History
This article revisits the debate over presentism in historical writing touched off by American Historical Association President James Sweet in an August 2022 column for the Association's newsletter. Sweet's statement, expressing concern that historians motivated by today's political concerns sometimes distort historical evidence, sparked a flurry of responses, mostly from detractors in public and supporters in private. Leaders in the profession a…
The Europeans
Toy stories
Dans les familles de classe moyenne et supérieure en France au xix e siècle la poupée est un objet important aux niveaux matériel, culturel, et psychique, comme en témoigne la place qu’elle tient dans les souvenirs de femmes et la prolifération frappante de fictions centrées sur cet objet. Les décennies du milieu et de la fin du siècle voient aussi des révolutions importantes en France dans l’aspect et la production des poupées qui sont fortement…
The Kids Aren’t All Right
In a complement to the 2020 AHR Roundtable “Chronological Age: A Useful Category of Historical Analysis” (125, no. 2), this AHR Exchange focuses on the history of children and childhood. Sarah Maza presents a critical review essay, highlighting the limiting factors in the expanding field of childhood studies.

Thinking About History
Credit, Fashion, Sex
Credit, Fashion, Sex: Economies of Regard in Old Regime France by Clare Haru Crowston. Durhum, Duke University Press, 2013. xvii, 424 pp. $27.95 US (paper). Clare Crowston's ambitious, multifaceted study takes as its point of departure the centrality and polyvalence of a single tenn, within the society and culture of Old Regime France. Credit is hardly irrelevant to our own culture, of course, but its casual, non-financial meanings (I give him fo…
Violette Noziere
On an August evening in 1933, in a quiet, working-class neighborhood in Paris, eighteen-year-old Violette Nozière gave her mother and father glasses of barbiturate-laced "medication," which she told them had been prescribed by the family doctor; one of her parents died, the other barely survived. Almost immediately Violette’s act of "double parricide" became the most sensational private crime of the French interwar era—discussed and debated so pa…
The Myth of the French Bourgeoisie
Companion to Western Historical Thought
Stephen Greenblatt, New Historicism, and Cultural History, Or, What We Talk About When We Talk About Interdisciplinarity
Michael Warner, a literary critic with a keen sense of history, wrote in 1987 that "New Historicism is a label that historians don't like very much because they understand something different by historicism. But nobody's asking historians...." This essay is an answer to questions nobody asked me, questions about interdisciplinarity and the differences between literary critical and historical practices. A return to historically informed literary c…
The Myth of the French Bourgeoisie
The French—even the most affluent and conservative—have always rejected and maligned bourgeois values and identity. In this new approach to the old question of the bourgeoisie, Sarah Maza focuses on the crucial period before, during, and after the French Revolution, and offers a provocative answer: the French bourgeoisie has never existed.

Private Lives and Public Affairs
From 1770 to 1789 a succession of highly publicized cases riveted the attention of the French public. Maza argues that the reporting of these private scandals had a decisive effect on the way in which the French public came to understand public issues in the years before the Revolution.
Women, the Bourgeoisie, and the Public Sphere
Over the course of the last few years, scholars in many disciplines in the humanities have been drawn to the ideas of Jurgen Habermas for at least two, seemingly contradictory, reasons. On the one hand, Habermas's preoccupation with communication and the media appeals to current postmodern interests in the making of images and texts; yet, paradoxically, the German philosopher's sturdy belief in action, in a political ideal of rational consensus, …

Servants and Masters in 18th-Century France
Here is the first major study of domestic service in France from the late seventeenth century to the early nineteenth century, describing its transformation from a male-oriented occupation, aristocratic in style and often geared to public display, to one that was female, middle-class, and centered on the household. Originally published in 1984. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previou…
