This article traces the emergence of the border regime on France’s eastern frontier after 1918. Following the Treaty of Versailles, the Franco-German boundary moved to accommodate the return of the ‘lost provinces’ Alsace-Lorraine to France, and throughout the interwar years contemporaries viewed this border as one of the most strategically and symbolically important boundaries on the European continent

The midinette—literally ‘qui fait dînette à midi’—was typically young, unmarried and sexually available. With a bird-like appetite, fairy fingers and an innate superiority of taste, she became the embodiment of Paris’s fashion industry on a national and global scale. The midinette was rarely depicted at work: this cheerful, carefree stereotype served to occlude the sweated labour such women actually

Jean de Bueil (1405/06–78) was one of France’s greatest generals of the fifteenth century: as an admiral of France and a field commander, he lived his life in arms; as the author of Le Jouvencel, he used those experiences to compose a highly significant medieval military tract, combining ideals of chivalry with a pragmatic guide and response to the changing nature of warfare. Indeed, his time saw the

Soldiers and commanders from outside the Kingdom of France have mostly appeared as cameos in the story of the French Wars of Religion. But in line with the growing interest in the inter- and transnational dimensions of the conflict, William Heap puts English actors centre stage in his in-depth study of the involvement of Elizabethan England in the French wars. In doing so, this thorough and well-researched

AbstractThis is a commentary on articles by Oliver Cussen, Tyson Leuchter, Elizabeth Heath and Thomas Dodman, all of whom were University of Chicago PhD students in the 2000s or the 2010s. The articles partake of the currently rising general interest in the history of capitalism, but all examine capitalism less as an economic system than as a mode of life that generates and must be understood through

AbstractThis article examines the introduction of legalized slave savings and compulsory slave self-purchase—the pécule légal and rachat forcé—by the Mackau Laws in the French colony of Martinique in the last years of the July Monarchy. Drawing on official correspondence, political debates, published pamphlets and individual cases of slave self-purchase, it examines official efforts to replace a system

AbstractThis article explores the memory of a traumatic event across several generations. It focuses on the legacy of the Saint Bartholomew’s Day massacre and its impact on the political decisions taken by the descendants of the massacre’s first victim, Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, especially the admiral’s son François de Châtillon (1557–91) and grandson Gaspard III of Châtillon (1584–1646). It argues

AbstractIn the aftermath of the Saint Bartholomew’s Day massacres, Catholics and Protestants often had to explain or justify the extreme violence that marked this bloody episode. A process of memory construction therefore took place in the days and weeks immediately following the killings. Taking the city of Lyon as a case study, this article analyses how Catholics and Protestants constructed a partisan

AbstractThis article provides a new perspective on the themes of violence, memory and criminal justice at the end of the Wars of Religion by focusing on a particularly well-documented criminal case tried by the Parlement de Paris. Previous studies of the end of the troubles have often focused on the politics and personality of Henri IV or studied the memory culture of elites. This article instead examines

AbstractFocusing on the Paris Stock Exchange in the early nineteenth century, this article examines the renovation of public debt and speculation following financial, political and military collapse. Though financial capitalism at the Exchange in the eighteenth century had been located mostly within the architecture of the fiscal-military state, the fallout of the Revolution and the defeat of the Napoleonic

AbstractIn Le Mans in July 1562, the Protestant troops who had been occupying the town left abruptly, and the Catholic population soon developed the tradition that the Huguenots’ panic was due to a miracle performed by the town’s patron saint, St. Scholastique. In 1667, Claude Blondeau, a Catholic lawyer, disputed this local memory of the First War of Religion and ignited a published dispute over the

During the French presidential campaign of 2017, the Front National candidate Marine Le Pen caused outrage during a television interview when she identified Cardinal Richelieu as her political hero. She admired him, she said, because he had never allowed a minority religion to dominate France—a clear reference to the brutal military campaign against French Protestants during the last War of Religion

Abstract—Since the 1970s, Alexis de Tocqueville’s The Ancien Régime and the French Revolution has provided an intellectual linchpin for revisionist accounts of the French Revolution as a political event, divorced from socioeconomic logics. This article offers an alternative reading of this classic text. It argues that Tocqueville’s analysis grapples at a fundamental level with social change and tries

AbstractThis article explores the memory of France’s Wars of Religion in urban histories published during the century and a half that followed the restoration of peace with the Edict of Nantes in 1598. It asks why, despite explicit prohibitions against reviving memories of injuries suffered during the wars, local historians persisted in demonizing former opponents in histories that remained overtly

AbstractWorkers in Le Havre developed resilience through trade union activism, political commitment and community engagement in the pre-war period. This resilience allowed them to display their anger at new hardships that appeared at the start of the German occupation. In particular, workers rioted at a major building site and demanded and achieved wage rises; and, as the RAF bombed their town day

AbstractThis article scrutinizes the nineteenth-century legacy of the old regime’s commercial empire through the ambiguous case of the Monneron brothers. Having gained fortune and recognition in Indian Ocean trade, the brothers sat as deputies in the National Assembly, but by the end of the 1790s their affairs and reputations had been destroyed. Their experiences reveal how the politics of commerce

Abstract—What communication has there been—and should there be—between the history of modern France and the new history of capitalism? In this introduction to a special issue, the authors trace the recent development of a new scholarly interest in the history of capitalism, outlining the ways that this field intersects with existing research on the history of economic life in nineteenth-century France

AbstractDrawing on a rich legal dossier on a violation of obscenity laws (the Trafford affair), this article studies the formation of a sex market in early twentieth-century Paris.

The dossier demonstrates how

AbstractRené Choppin (1537–1606) was one of the most cited French lawyers of the sixteenth century, and yet his contribution to intellectual history has gone curiously unexamined. This article considers the reception of his most important work, De Domanio Franciae (1574), in the political thought of the 1570s and early 1580s. It shows that Choppin was particularly influential in two key areas: the

AbstractThis article examines debate about the nature of the French monarchy during the early years of Louis XV’s personal rule. It argues that the king, his ministers and advisers as well as the wider French public were torn between traditional models of monarchy based upon the concept of a ‘roi de guerre’ and the diplomatic and human consequences of military conflict that had caused many to urge

AbstractIt is a truism that the experience of the assignats in the 1790s deterred the French from paper-based wealth during the nineteenth century, a notion that dovetails with a long-standing narrative of French economic backwardness in this period, particularly relative to Britain. This article revisits this interpretation through the study of proposals for public borrowing during the late Empire

The article examines the conception of social rights found in the writings of Noel Babeuf in the late eighteenth century and those of his followers, the neo-Babouvists, in the first half of the nineteenth. Both believed that social rights were to be based on natural needs, which they identified as physical and moral: while physical needs necessitated the right to subsistence, moral needs encompassed

This article explores how Vichy sought to defend French sovereignty against Italian threats across the unoccupied areas of France and its colonial empire covered by the Italian armistice between June 1940 and November 1942. It suggests that while Vichy’s response to German violations of French sovereignty was limited by its policy of collaboration, no such constraints were in place when it came to

Between 1870 and 1900 three commemorative events for Jules Michelet took place in France: his burial at the Pere Lachaise cemetery in 1876, the unveiling of his monument in 1882 and the national commemoration of his centenary in 1898. The republican historian was thus a major figure in Third Republic memory culture, while he was also considered one of its sources of inspiration. This article examines

On 26 June 1574, Gabriel de Lorges, comte de Montgomery and Huguenot commander, was executed in Paris. Propaganda condoning his fate quickly appeared. Printed discourses claimed that not only was Montgomery a ‘true monster … born to subvert and ruin this kingdom’ and leader of conspirators and rebels, but that he had shown ‘sacrilegious disloyalty’. Over a period of thirteen to fourteen years, he had

In the mid-2010s, the expression ‘memory wars’, which had been coined in debates about the role of various commemorations of France’s colonial history, became increasingly identified with an atmosphere of conflict between France’s Jewish population and other minority communities. Simultaneously, conflicts over remembrance of the Holocaust and France’s colonial past characterized a new dynamic of memorial

This paper contributes new evidence and a new perspective to the study of the religious heresy known as Waldensianism in the high-medieval Languedoc, and its relationship to both orthodox authority and the ‘Cathar’ heresy. Although they were outlawed by Rome in 1184, Waldensians were operating openly in the Cathar lands pertaining to the viscounts of Beziers and the counts of Toulouse and Foix-with

The Revolutionary era was a period of radical change in France that dissolved traditional boundaries of privilege, and a time when creative experimentation flourished. As performance and theatrical language became an integral part of the French Revolution, its metaphors seeped into genres beyond the stage. Claire Trévien traces the ways in which theatrical activity influenced Revolutionary print culture

Between 1852 and 1870, Napoleon III and his Bonapartist entourage successfully established a Second Napoleonic Empire that encouraged a ‘cult of the emperor’, emphasizing the strong and even mystical bond between the sovereign and the people. While the ‘spectacular politics’ of the Bonapartist regime have been examined in detail, far less attention has been given to how Bonapartist patriotism was applied

Drawing on previously unexploited archival sources from the Comite d’organisation de la siderurgie (CORSID), the article challenges the patron resistant thesis, which has been widely accepted in the literature on Vichy France. It advances several important counter-arguments. It also questions the motives of industrialists who undermined attempts to send French workers to Germany and shows that these

There is surely no-one better placed than Professor David Bates to write this biography.

This diversity, which is particularly evident in French scholarship, offers divergent readings of the way institutions evolved, of state practices

This article focuses on the centrality and the importance of food to wartime radio propaganda, a subject thus far overlooked by scholars. It investigates how the BBC French Service and Vichy addressed the growing challenges of food production and supply in occupied France, each of them competing hard to gain control of discourses about food in a climate of shortage. It examines their respective blame
