This is a study of the daily life, concerns, and dynamics of
aristocratic families in the France of the Third Republic.
Elizabeth Macknight draws on a vast range of material from private
archives to contest assumptions about the irrelevancy of the
nobility under the republican regime. Within a challenging
political and economic environment nobles were determined to
protect their interests and conserve the integrity of the
aristocratic way of life. The convictions that underpinned nobles'
responses to government initiatives emerge from the sources with
freshness and clarity. Macknight interweaves male and female
perspectives to provide a very full account of familial activities
and decision-making with attention to all stages of the human
lifecycle. Nobles' experiences of parenting and grandparenting,
sibling and cousin relations, marriage, property negotiations, and
interaction with servants are brought to light in a vivid and
engaging narrative. -- .
