Résumé
The Ambivalent Jacobin : Vincent Wright as a Political Historian of Modem France ; The works of Vincent Wright on 19lh century France deal with very many subjects, but a common thread is identifiable : the attention given to political and administrative power, the places in which it is exercised and the institutions, individuals and groups who hold it. Profoundly Jacobin, Vincent Wright was nevertheless a bom sceptic who knew how to assess the limits of central State power and the importance of local level activity in French political life, just as he knew how to move away from theoretical frameworks in order to pursue individual trajectories leading in opposite directions.
