About the Book

Drawing upon a wealth of documentation, Gwynne Lewis's story of one of the most dynamic entrepreneurs in modern French history examines Pierre-François Tubeuf's contribution to the development of industry in France. Professor Lewis explores the relationship between seigneurial, proto-industrial, and modern forms of capitalism in the Cévennes region of south-eastern France in the eighteenth century, and demonstrates the international scope of proto-industrialization. A subtle, scholarly study, it unravels the complex problems associated with the impact of the French Revolution on the processes of modern French capitalism, and traces the responses of a wide variety of individuals, including Tubeuf and his greatest rival, the Maréchal de Castries. He examines the epic struggle of these two powerful men for control of the rich coal-mines of the region, and their legacy to succeeding generations.

Table of Contents:
Pierre-Francois Tubeuf and the foundations of a modern coal-mining industry; the Marechal de Castries - aristocrats and proto-industrialization; the impact of a revolutionary crisis; revolution, recession and the rights of property-owners; the return of the Tubeufs - an abortive "take-off"; the Bourbon-restoration - "plus ca change..."; 1830 - the take-off.

Review :
'Gwynne Lewis has sensitively integrated evidence from Tubeuf's hitherto neglected journals with extensive knowledge of the political economy of eighteenth-century France to form a unique judgement on the economy's prolonged transition to modern industrial capitalism. This is a book for the specialist business historian of France, yet the broad approach to historical analysis exemplified in this study could well enhance the discipline of business history in general.' Katrina Honeyman, University of Leeds, Business History 'The great merit of Gwynne Lewis's new study of Pierre-Francois Tubeuf is to explain the career of France's first would-be coal magnate.' Times Literary Supplement 'a vigorous defence of a social and economic approach to analysing the French Revolution against the contemporary trend to interpret it principally in political terms ... admirable monograph' J.K.J. Thomson, Economic History Society 1995 'Gwynne Lewis has succeeded in writing a book which, through its recognition of the 'inter-relationship which exists between economic, political, social and cultural changes', helps us to place the entrepreneur in time and place and to appreciate more fully the often overwhelming character of his (and her)problems. Economic history is too important to leave to the number crunchers!' Roger Price, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, Labour History Review, Vol. 59, No. 2, Autumn, 1994
