Alexander Sedgwick is University Professor, Emeritus, the University of Virginia.
This is a study of the Ralliement, which according to Sedgwick, was
not simply a reconciliation between French Catholics and the
republic in response to the admonitions of the Pope, but was an
attempt on the part of some French Royalists, Bonapartists, and
Opportunists to form a broad, conservative party that would abandon
fruitless monarchist aims, work for more harmonious relations
between Church and state, curb the growth of socialism, and
endeavor to solve the economic and social problems of the day… This
study adds to our understanding of the complex political forces of
the Ralliement and the reasons for its failure.
