Description

In this well-written and imaginatively structured book, Carol E. Harrison brings to life a cohort of nineteenth-century French men and women who argued that a reformed Catholicism could reconcile the divisions in French culture and society that were the legacy of revolution and empire. They include, most prominently, Charles de Montalembert, Pauline Craven, Amelie and Frederic Ozanam, Leopoldine Hugo, Maurice de Guerin, and Victorine Monniot. The men and women whose stories appear in Romantic Catholics were bound together by filial love, friendship, and in some cases marriage. Harrison draws on their diaries, letters, and published works to construct a portrait of a generation linked by a determination to live their faith in a modern world.Rejecting both the atomizing force of revolutionary liberalism and the increasing intransigence of the church hierarchy, the romantic Catholics advocated a middle way, in which a revitalized Catholic faith and liberty formed the basis for modern society. Harrison traces the history of nineteenth-century France and, in parallel, the life course of these individuals as they grow up, learn independence, and take on the responsibilities and disappointments of adulthood. Although the shared goals of the romantic Catholics were never realized in French politics and culture, Harrison's work offers a significant corrective to the traditional understanding of the opposition between religion and the secular republican tradition in France.

Inthecourseofwritingthisbook,Ihavemetand learned from librarians and archivists across France and in the United States, and it is a great pleasure to look back over many years of research and thank them all. In particular, I am fortunate to have conducted much of the research for this book in contemporary Catholic institutions that, although they maintain historical records, are primarily active in the fields of charity and education. Many people interrupted their work to welcome me, give me access to documents, and find desk space for me in their offices. They have been my guides through Catholic France of the nineteenth century and today. I owe an especially large debt to the late Raphaëlle ChevalierMontariol, who made the LaporteOzanam papers available to me before her family donated them to the Bibliothèque nationale. Her admiration for Amélie Ozanam inspired chapter 5 of this book. Now that Amélie’s correspondence is in the BnF, Michèle Le Pavec helped me verify citations and showed me the velvet binding in which Amélie and Frédéric kept their courtship correspondence. In Rome, Father JeanPaul PerrierMuzet opened the Bailly family papers in the archives of the Assumptionist order to me. In Paris, the late Dr. Georges and Monique Sauvé, Violette Potylo, and Yves and Huguette Mongrolle welcomed me to the Collège Stanislas. The staff at the Conseil général international of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul made the minutes of their organization’s earliest meetings available. Guillaume Boyer and the staff at the Bibliothèque de Fels of the Institut Catholique de Paris facilitated my access to Pauline Craven’s enormous archive. MarieLaurence Marco at the Musée Victor Hugo showed me Léopoldine Hugo’s catechism notebooks and the Hugo family mementos of her short life. I never met the late Louis Le Guillou, but this book would not have been possible without his tre mendous editorial labor in the Lamennais and Montalembert papers. In the United States, Andrea Immel of Princeton University Libraries introduced me to the marvelous holdings of the Cotsen Children’s Library.
