The papers in this volume represent the first attempt at a coherent
analysis of the institutional structure of French science and
technology in the nineteenth century. They treat both research and
education and cover the main developments in the period from the
establishment of the Napoleonic University in 1808 to the outbreak
of the First World War. The papers reflect the intense interest in
the social history of French science since the Revolution and
convey a vivid impression of different modes of thought in a
particularly active field of research. The contributions stress and
develop more clearly than in any previous study, the theme of
structural change in a complex interlocking network of
institutions. Far from being an unresponsive monolith, France's
system of scientific research and education proved capable of
significant modification and expansion, especially in the later
nineteenth century. To an extent that has not been fully recognised
by historians, the French did respond to the changing demands of an
industrialising economy and to the intellectual, economic and
political challenge of the new Germany - a point that needs to be
taken into account in discussions of the supposed decline of French
science in the nineteenth century.
