The Saint-Simonians were a group of young engineers and doctors who
proposed original solutions to the social and banking crises of the
early nineteenth century. They were unique in the 1820s in
attracting women, including workers, into their movement, and
attempting to change the world through love, including the sexual
'liberation' of women. Some metamorphosed from idealistic reformers
to create the first socialist groups in France, while others
spearheaded bank reform, railway building and urban transformation
in the 1850s. They took the lead in the colonisation of Algeria, in
popular journalism, business, and in organising international
exhibitions. They planned the most notable engineering project of
the time, the Suez Canal, and a project that took over a century
more to be completed, the Channel tunnel. Through an examination of
the lives, ideals and activities of these men and women, Pilbeam
analyses the influence of the Saint-Simonians on nineteenth-century
French society.
