The Legacy of Alfred Cobban
A liberal voice and a Fabian: Alfred Cobban
This article discusses Alfred Cobban’s liberal beliefs. It also reveals for the first time that he was a Fabian socialist. Cobban was Professor of French History at University College, London, from 1953 to his death in 1968. Cobban was outstanding both for his scholarship, his numerous publications on modern French history and his supervision of an impressive number of doctoral students, particularly women, who went on both to publish and to beco…
Forum: The Legacy of Alfred Cobban
Alfred Cobban enjoyed a long and distinguished career, though it was cut short by his untimely death in 1968, when he was at the centre of a burgeoning controversy over the causes and nature of the French Revolution, for which he is best remembered in academia. The dispute had begun after his appointment as Professor of French History at University College, London (UCL) when, in 1954, in the presence of the French ambassador, he delivered an infl…

Free Trade and Its Enemies in France, 1814–1851
In 1814, the French government, in common with other states, introduced tariffs to replace Napoleon’s Continental System in which the French had sold goods freely in their conquered territories. Blocking British iron and cotton goods was considered imperative, but in so doing, other states also put duties on French goods, wine and silk being badly affected. This brief, but detailed, volume explores how those who forcefully opposed tariffs, notabl…

The Hierarchies of Cuckoldry and Bankruptcy, by Charles Fourier, tr. Geoffrey Longnecker
This excellent translation of two of Charles Fourier’s jokes should disabuse any student of socialism who still imagines that Fourier was serious when he wrote about pink lemonade seas and anti-lions. He also loved playing with numbers. We are introduced to seventy-two species of cuckold and thirty-six of bankrupt. Fourier was an advocate of total sexual freedom and an economy in which profits were divided between workers, property owners and new…

There was no ‘Arab France’ between Napoleon's invasion of Egypt and the attack on Algeria. The Arabs pictured here were mainly migrants from Egypt to Marseille in 1801, linked by language, Islamicist culture and a French pension, their recompense for having supported Napoleon against the Ottomans. Two hundr…
Apostles of Modernity. Saint-Simonians and the Civilising Mission in Algeria
This is a detailed scholarly account of the early decades of French colonisation of Algeria, from 1830 to 1871, firmly grounded in the colonial archives of Aix-en-Provence. It focuses on the conflicting roles of Saint-Simonian administrators and military officers. All agreed that France was justified in civilising and colonising the region, but apparently had radically different interpretations of these terms, which brought colonisers and the mil…

Dream Worlds? Religion and the Early Socialists in France
This article gives chronology, nuance, and context to an analysis of how early socialist attitudes to religion changed. It asks why socialists argued with increasing fervour between the early 1830s and 1848 that social reform had to be rooted in spiritual as well as moral values. Two of the largest groups, the Icarians and the Fourierists, moved from a rational deism to Christianity. Both were driven by the need to defend themselves from accusati…

The Middle Classes in Europe, 1789-1914: France, Germany, Italy and Russia
Book synopsis: The term 'class' has been, and still is, a powerful historical concept. Its exact meaning, however, has remained elusive. In this illuminating study, P.M.Pilbeam compares the middle classes in four of the major states in continental Europe - France, Russia, Germany and Italy - from the French Revolution to the first world war, and reveals how complex any useful definition of class must be
The Growth of Liberalism and the Crisis of the Bourbon Restoration, 1827–1830
In 1830 the French Bourbon monarchy fell in the midst of a.political crisis that had developed rapidly between 1827 and 1830 after the Restoration settlement had operated, apparently harmoniously, for fifteen years. The two general elections of 1827 and 1830 resulted in the very swift growth of a liberal majority in parliament, and Charles X, unwilling to defer entirely to the majority in the choice of his ministers and unable, because of custom …

Madame Tussaud and the Business of Wax: Marketing to the Middle Classes
This essay explores the unique development of the Tussaud Wax Exhibition in the first half of the nineteenth century. Madame Tussaud was trained in the art and display of wax figures by Philippe Curtius in Paris. In 1802 she embarked on a wax tour of Britain, and never left. At a personal level her odyssey was amazing. When she arrived, in her 40s, she knew no one and was alone, apart from her tiny child. She had an interesting collection of wax …
The Economic Crisis of 1827–32 and the 1830 Revolution in Provincial France
A spectre is still haunting historians of nineteenth-century France, the spectre of the bourgeois revolution of 1830, surviving despite the exorcism of revisionists. It is a spector that distorts our image of the liberal opposition to Charles X and of the victors after the July Days. Restoration prefects, moved from department to department with increasing rapidity in Charles X's reign, were content to categorize critics of the Polignac governmen…
The ‘Three Glorious Days’: The Revolution of 1830 in Provincial France
France has always envied Paris. A popular interpretation of the history of France has been of conflict between the capital and the provinces in which Paris was the victor, at least from the establishment of the system of intendants by Louis XIV in the late seventeenth century. Radical Paris took the lead in the revolutionary upheavals of the 1790s, in 1830, 1848 and 1870–1. The conflict of the 1790s produced civil and foreign war and led to an ev…

Republicanism in Nineteenth-Century France, 1814–1871
Book synopsis: This book is a fascinating survey of nineteenth-century republicanism, the first of its kind this century. It investigates why it was that although France was one of the first countries in modern Europe to become a republic in 1792, it was nearly a hundred years before a republic was acceptable to the majority. Pamela Pilbeam suggests that republicanism was a witch's brew of Enlightenment rationality, bloody memories and conflictin…

The social question
In the first half of the nineteenth century most social commentators in France thought that they lived in a sick society. Socialists can be distinguished from the rest in that they warned that the problems would become more acute unless radical solutions were adopted. Most of this book will focus on their strategies and solutions. This chapter is devoted to their definition of the problem, ubiquitously labelled the “social question”, tracing its …
French Socialists before Marx: Workers, Women and the Social Question in France
In this pioneering and wide-ranging reassessment of early socialist ideas and reforming strategies, Pamela Pilbeam reveals a remarkable period of intellectual creativity and achievement wholly distinct from the post-1870 movement that has invariably formed the starting point for most histories of socialism. The book pulls together and identifies the major issues that preoccupied the early socialists: revolution, religion, education, the status of…

Socialists in Nineteenth‐Century France
French socialism was unique. It had a dual origin, the 1789 Revolution and the response to economic change. The competing traditions of the 1789 Revolution were of fundamental, but very divisive, importance to French socialists. Some honoured Robespierre and the Jacobins for their contribution to the centralisation and modernisation of the state (Blanc), while others denigrated the Terror and the failure to improve the lives of ordinary people (F…
