The Right in France from the Third Republic to Vichy provides a new
history of parliamentary conservatism and the extreme right in
France during the successive crises of the years from 1870 to 1945.
In it, Kevin Passmore charts royalist opposition to the newly
established Republic, the emergence of the nationalist extreme
right in the 1890s, and the parallel development of republican
conservatism. He moves on to the hitherto unstudied story of
conservatism in during the Great War, and then to the Right's
victory in the 1919 elections. Passmore charts the crisis of
parliamentary conservatism in the interwar years, and explores the
Right's response to the rise of Fascism and Communism. He concludes
by placing the Vichy regime, which governed France under the German
Occupation, in the context of the history of conservative politics.
This history is related to the struggle of those who saw themselves
as 'elites' to preserve their leadership in the 'age of the
masses'. Passmore shows that conservatives of all stripes shared a
common culture (notably including organicism and crowd theory), but
that different factions used these ideas in different ways, for
different purposes. Whereas previous studies have been primarily
concerned to 'categorize' conservatives groups, for example as
'fascist',' liberal', or 'modern', this study examines the way in
which competing groups used such terms in complex struggles amongst
themselves and with the left. The study is based on considerable
archival research, as well as on knowledge of the vast body of
recently published research in English and French.
