Emile and Isaac Pereire

Edited by

Mark Greengrass and Pamela Pilbeam

This series is published in collaboration with the UK Society for the Study of French History. It aims to showcase innovative short monographs relating to the history of the French, in France and in the world since c.1750. Each volume speaks to a theme in the history of France with broader resonances to other discourses about the past. Authors demonstrate how the sources and interpretations of modern French history are being opened to historical investigation in new and interesting ways, and how unfamiliar subjects have the capacity to tell us more about the role of France within the European continent. The series is particularly open to interdisciplinary studies that break down the traditional boundaries and conventional disciplinary divisions.

Contents

A rich story emerges from the Pereire family archive, one in which warmth and generosity to strangers were the hallmark of a very particular Parisian family. These attributes have not skipped the generations. For her spontaneous welcome into her home, her readiness to open many doors and her continuing interest, I thank Graldine Pereire Henochsberg, custodian of the Archives de la famille Pereire and great-great-granddaughter of Emile and Herminie Pereire. The existence of the Archives owes everything to the determination and perseverance of her mother, Colette Pereire, and I record our debt to her on my account and on that of other historians. I thank Anita Pereire, widow of Franois Pereire, a great-grandson of Isaac and Fanny Pereire, who provided me at the outset with much kindness and a memorable space in Wiltshire in which to engage with the works in her possession. She has now generously consigned these to the family archives in Paris. Anita Pereires daughter, Laure Pereire, has shown a continuing interest in my work and extended great hospitality for which I am grateful.

Many mentors, friends, and colleagues have eased my path in the evolution of this book. I thank Peter McPhee for his continuing support of my work from its origins as a dissertation. It would be immeasurably the poorer without his wisdom, insights, counsel and excellent judgement. Franck Yonnet epitomises for me the collegiality of the historical fraternity and I am grateful for his sharing his work so willingly with another Pereire scholar. I thank the series editors, Mark Greengrass and Pamela Pilbeam, whose guidance and critiquing added so much to the final product. For their help at various times I thank Robert Aldrich, Melanie Aspey, Hubert Bonin, Ian Coller, Marc Desti, Paola Ferruta, Susan Foley, Gilles Jacoud, Julie Kalman, Herv Le Bret, John Merriman, Kerry Murphy, Grard Nahon, Jean-Marc Olivier, the late Alain Plessis, Pauline Prvost-Marcilhacy, Philippe Rgnier, Gideon Reuveni, Sylvia Sagona, Charles Sowerwine and Fiorenza Taricone.

I am especially indebted to Tony Kelly of Archiva Lucida and Fay Woodhouse who performed miracles in transforming manuscript into book. Catherine de Saint Phalle helped me enormously in translation from the French. For their help in specific ways I am grateful to Jacques Bjot, Christian Bourdeille, Michel Cardoze, Clara Dicharry, Sherrel Djoneff, Nicolas Feuillie, Christophe Fouin, James Hargrave, Jean-Claude Laumet and Michael Sibalis.

I thank the many staff of archives and libraries across France, from provincial towns to large cities, who conscientiously and professionally went to great lengths to ensure a scholar from the Antipodes received every assistance. And I record my gratitude to the staff of Manchester University Press who have dealt with me at all times with unfailing courtesy, encouragement and commitment.

Finally, none of this would have been possible without the support and affection of my husband, John Nicholson, who has been there at every step. I thank him for his constancy, his understanding and our wonderful life together. This book is dedicated to my late parents and brother, all gone before they could share my pleasure in its completion, and to John.

The reader should not hold any of those whom I have mentioned here responsible for errors or inaccuracies. I am solely responsible for any and all inadequacies.
