French Cities in the Nineteenth Century

Originally published in 1981, French Cities in the Nineteenth Century analyses large-scale processes of social change, and looks at how this affected the growth of towns and cities of nineteenth century France. The book addresses how this change affected the politics of life in France during the nineteenth century, as well as how the city was organised. Urbanization created new uses of space, and new concerns for the people that lived among them and the book looks at how social change was a collective experience for the people of France and how this transformed the societies in which they lived.

Acknowledgements

I first became interested in French towns and cities while doing research for my dissertation exactly ten years ago; and, despite some rather grim times in Limoges, have subsequently spent as much time as possible exploring Frances urban world, though not necessarily always for scholarly reasons. Teaching a course on the urbanization of Europe with Charles Tilly, Miriam Cohen, Michael Hanagan and Kingsbury Marzolf at the University of Michigan, 19713, left me with an appreciation of an interdisciplinary approach to the topic. Reading Richard Cobb has always provided a different kind of important inspiration. John Brewer first suggested that I put together such a collection for Hutchinson; subsequently, Claire LEnfant, Leonie Hamilton and Emily Wheeler of Hutchinson Education have been unfailingly encouraging and helpful. And so have all of the authors, as well as Peter Gay, Susanna Barrows, and Carol Payne Merriman for reading my two essays. During the inevitable final crunch, friends Alan Forrest, Rory Browne, Simon Reeve, Joe Mandel and Monsieur and Madame Charles Bonis provided encouragement at the latters Le Petit Berri, across from the Archives Nationales. And finally, but not at all last, thanks to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation whose grant funded my research on French cities this year; their generous support meant that there were a few francs left over for M. Charleys ross and for the Mati Hari flipper machine.
