Monarchiens et monarchie en exil : conjonctures de la monarchie dans lâĂ©migration française, 1792â1799
Le dĂ©bat sur la restauration de la monarchie commence au moment de la chute de Louis XVI en 1792. Il sâest intensifiĂ© dans lâĂ©migration française. En analysant les relations entre les « monarchiens », monarchistes constitutionnels favorisant un systĂšme bicamĂ©riste, et les Bourbons en exil, cet article montre comment lâidĂ©e dâun rĂ©tablissement de lâAncien RĂ©gime, souvent associĂ© aux Ă©migrĂ©s, est successivement Ă©cartĂ©e par les Bourbons. Les confrontations et coopĂ©rations politiques avec les monarchiens dĂ©montrent dans quelle mesure la pensĂ©e politique du futur Louis XVIII, dans les annĂ©es 1790, sâoriente vers une monarchie constitutionnelle qui, dĂ©jĂ avant Brumaire, anticipe des Ă©lĂ©ments centraux de la Restauration de 1814.The debate on the restoration of the Monarchy began immediately after the fall of Louis XVI in 1792. It would intensify with French emigration. By analyzing the relationships between the « monarchiens », those constitutional monarchists favoring a bicameral system, and the Bourbons in exile, this article shows how the idea of the reestablishment of the Old Regime often associated with emigres was successively rejected by the Bourbons. The political confrontations and cooperation with the monarchiens demonstrates the extent to which the political thought of the future Louis XVIII in the 1790s turned towards a constitutional monarchy that, already before Brumaire, anticipated the central features of the Restoration of 1814

Revolution on Trial Writing Memoirs in Times of Revolution, Emigration, and Restoration (1789-1824)
The Memoires de Weber, concernant Marie-Antoinette were of central importance to the wave of memoirs of the French Revolution published during the Restoration period. Commonly attributed to Joseph Weber, Marie-Antoinette's foster brother, the Memoires' authorship has always remained doubtful. This article discusses the text's complex origins in the London emigre community around 1800 and analyzes the process by which it became a canonic eyewitness account with its republication in 1822. In light of newly discovered sources and recent scholarly interest in the emigration and postrevolutionary period, this article reexamines the Memoires as a case of ghostwriting revolving around royalist loyalties, public emotions, and publication strategies. Highlighting personal networks reaching from the Revolution to the emigration and into Restoration France, this article makes a case for reconsidering generational factors, long-term relations, and interpretative struggles among the eyewitnesses of the Revolution in a period when memoirs became a key element of turning the Revolution into contemporary history
Muddling through: The Rhetoric on Conservatism and Revolution in the London Times, 1789-2010
Historians have devoted a great deal of attention to analysing the vocabularies and political and philosophical languages that emerged during the modern era. For instance, they have explored the âismsâ of the period (romanticism, liberalism, fascism, republicanism, communism, and so on), often in specific national settings and in specific periods. This article harnesses the strength of computer-assisted humanitiesâ research methods to map a single aspect of the language of conservatism in everyday reading material over a longer period of time. On the basis of the London Times, the article examines the way the concept of ârevolutionâ figured in relation to âconservatismâ in so-called value-laden semantic fields. These textual fields involve ideas and beliefs, have normative connotations, are highly iterative and vary over time in complex ways. Four such fields figured in the London Times, roughly marked by 1780, 1830, 1900, 1970 and 2010 as milestone years. Often reflecting on violent revolutions outside Britain, the journalists and commentators of the Times conceptualised British conservatism primarily as anti-reformist rather than anti-revolutionist. In the end, revolution even became an ironical term, applicable to anyone with a penchant for change, including conservatives themselves
How Conservative Was the Holy Alliance Really?: Tsar Alexanderâs Offer of Radical Redemption to the Western World
This chapter argues that tsar Alexanderâs Holy Alliance of 1815 was far less conservative and far more revolutionary than it was later understood to be. To make this point, the chapter reconstructs how this âsecret planâ came to be understood as âconservativeâ and how this reading of the Holy Alliance Treaty was influenced by latter-day interpretations and machinations far more than by its concrete substance at the time. Subsequently, the origins and constitutive elements of the plan are delineated in order to demonstrate that it was a revolutionary amalgam of Christian pietism, semi-scientific Enlightenment theories, and a dose of modern, bureaucratic state centralism. Based on new archival evidence, it will transpire how both Prussian security experts and French semi-scientist scholars contributed to the design of the Holy Alliance. The Holy Alliance contained conservative ingredients, but the liberal and provocative elements stood outâthese were however suppressed within a few years by political appropriations by other statesmen
