Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preface -- Introduction -- 1. Bridges and Barriers: Narrowing Access and Changing Structure in the French Engineering Profession, 1800-1850 -- 2. Science, the University, and the State in Nineteenth-Century France -- 3. A “Monarchical Profession” in the Old Regime: Surgeons, Ordinary Practitioners, and Medical Professionalization in Eighteenth-Century France -- 4. “Moral Contagion”: A Professional Ideology of Medicine and Psychiatry in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century France -- 5. The Politics of Professional Monopoly in Nineteenth-Century Medicine: The French Model and Its Rivals -- Index -- Notes on Contributors
Summary: This collection of essays represents the first focused attempt to treat the professions in France as a single large historical problem. It is at once a contribution to the history of the professions and to the social history of France. The essays point toward a common conclusion: in the French context, by striking contrast to standard Anglo-American assumptions, professional "autonomy," power, and success virtually require "dependence" on the state.
