Reviews

"This book is far more than the history of a single institution. It is also a thoughtful examination of political ideology and social discourse in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and an important and convincing argument about the origins and influences in Third Republic social policy before World War I." - Don Reed, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "The Musee social, privately founded in 1894, emerges from Janet Horne's elegantly presented book as a remarkable meeting-place for politically and professionally diverse proponents of social reform."--TLS, 30 August 2002
