"Coffey does a masterful job of situating Leon Harmel-his life, his
work, his ideology-in the context of French political and social
turmoil in the last third of the nineteenth century. More than a
Catholic paternalist, Harmel created a model 'earthly paradise' for
his workers, drawing on principles of utopian socialism to give
labor control over the factory environment. Harmel's effort to lay
the groundwork for class conciliation drew praise even from leading
Socialists, and his legacy continues in the contemporary world.
Coffey's extraordinary synthesis of scholarly works on social,
gender, and labor history is as impressive as her original archival
research, making this book an important resource for any historian
of France or of social issues. Beautifully written, it is also a
great pleasure to read." -Elinor Accampo, University of Southern
California
