Bureaucrats and Bourgeois Society: Office Politics and Individual Credit in France 1789-1848: War, Culture and Society, 1750–1850

Autor R. Kingston
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 oct 2012
Between 1789 and 1848, clerks modified their occupational practices, responding to political scrutiny and state-administration reforms. Ralph Kingston examines the lives and influence of bureaucrats inside and outside the office as they helped define nineteenth-century bourgeois social capital, ideals of emulation, honour, and masculinity.
