P ernille R øge . Economistes and the Reinvention of Empire: France in the Americas and Africa, c. 1750–1802
The publication of Pernille Røge’s book on the influence of physiocratic thought on slavery and French colonialism, Economistes and the Reinvention of Empire: France in the Americas and Africa, c. 1750–1802, is a welcome event. While the economic and even cultural aspects of physiocracy have been the subject of serious enquiries, the physiocrats’ novel perception of the relationship between France’s Caribbean sugar islands and West Africa has not…
Jeremy L. Caradonna. The Enlightenment in Practice: Academic Prize Contests and Intellectual Culture in France, 1670–1794
“The element of participation is the most important contribution that this book makes to the historiography of the Enlightenment,” concludes Jeremy L. Caradonna about his work. Indeed, his study of academic competitions, the concours sponsored by Parisian and provincial academies and learned societies in the eighteenth century, reveals the degree of public enthusiasm for such disquisitions. Moving from an initial focus on the glorification of the…
Rewriting the Lives of Eighteenth‐Century Economists
OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES, historians of France, like those of other countries, have tried to make sense of the renewed vogue for scholarly historical biography.' The issue appears more problematic in French history, perhaps because of the long dominance of the Annales school paradigm, which privileged structures over events and collective over individual mentalities. The theories of Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, and Pierre Bourdieu likewise…

The European Peasant Family and Society: Historical Studies
In recent years the peasant household has become a central focal point of social history. This is true not only because the peasant represents the major element of European society through the nineteenth century, but also because many of the main issues in modern historical debate can be studied within the sphere of the peasant family. This book deals with the European peasant family during the period of transformation from agrarian to industrial…
Habitants and Merchants in Seventeenth-Century Montreal
The Land and the Loom: Peasants and Profit in Northern France, 1680-1800
Habitants and Merchants in Seventeenth-Century Montreal
Dechêne's work, when first published, constituted a major milestone in the development of methodology and use of sources. Her systematic examination of difficult and massive documentary collections blazed a number of new trails for other researchers. Her judicious blending of numerical data and "qualitative" findings makes this book one of the rare examples of "new history" that avoids the extremes of statistical abstraction and anecdotal antiqua…
Spinners and Weavers of Auffay: Rural Industry and the Sexual Division of Labor in a French Village, 1750-1850
The Abolition of the Guilds during the French Revolution
The past decade has witnessed a renewal of interest in the French guild system, marked by a special emphasis on its supra-economic function. Unlike earlier generations that proposed to evaluate, and usually ended by condemning, corporative regulations of work and production,' historians such as William Sewell, Jr., and Steven L. Kaplan have chosen to set aside the obvious criticisms of the system and to pay greater heed to the guilds' self-justif…
