François Guizot, the embodiment of a century par Stéphane Ratti Le Figaro, 13 September 2019. To mark the 145th anniversary of the death of François Guizot, Professor Stéphane Ratti retraces the career of this great historian and politician, who is unfairly overlooked today, yet whose life evokes all the richness of the 19th century.
How could the conservative François Guizot (1787-1874) be associated with the abolitionist movement when, after years in high political office, he had to leave it in February 1848 to be replaced by a regime one of whose first acts was to abolish slavery in the French colonies?

A black mayor during the Revolution, by Roger Little, published in The black traces of history in the West, L'Harmattan, 2005. Louis Guizot, the son of a French nobleman and a black slave, was the first black mayor of a French commune, elected in 1790. His fight for tolerance cost him his life at the time of the Revolution.[…]
Guizot and his publishers, by Laurent Theis, BSHPF, t. 159-IV, 2013, pp. 657-687. François Guizot (1787-1874), an orphan without a fortune and raised in poverty, lived most of his long career from his intellectual and literary work. The least we can say is that politics, which he practised between 1814 and 1848, not without intermittence, in various forms - senior civil servant, member of parliament, ambassador and minister - and right up to the very top of power, did not enrich him.

Guizot and the Salon of 1810, by Laurent Theis The 1810 Salon opened to the public on Monday 5 November, for five months. François Guizot had turned 23 just one month earlier. At the end of December, the bookseller Maradan published a 130-page work entitled De l'état des beaux-arts en France et du Salon de 1810 (On the state of the fine arts in France and the Salon of 1810), with a reference to its author, M. Guizot. It was the first book explicitly signed by him, at the beginning of a body of work that was to include many others. […]
François Guizot Minister of Public Instruction, by Laurent Theis, Comment, No. 117, Spring 2007, pp. 183-192. When François Guizot became the seventh Minister of Public Education under the July Monarchy on 11 October 1832, he had just turned forty-five. A mature man, he had twenty years of academic, administrative and political experience behind him. He had long been a recognised practitioner and theoretician of educational issues. […]
Guizot's relations with Montalembert and liberal Catholics, by Laurent Theis Associating the names of François Guizot and Charles de Montalembert might seem paradoxical, and this apparent paradox was not lost on their contemporaries. Here the Calvinist bourgeois, here the ultramontane aristocrat, one born without civil status and a product of work and intelligence, the other heir to a name and a seat as peer of France. And then there was the age difference, which counted for a lot in those days: 23. Their chance meeting and momentary clashes led to a rapprochement and then to a close friendship, of which the following is a description and the main stages. They shed light on many of the questions posed to French society in the 19th century about the relationship between politics and religion, between Christianity and freedom. They also reveal two powerful and endearing temperaments.[…]
François Guizot and Henri Lacordaire, by Laurent Theis in Lacordaire and others... Religion and politics (ed. Marie-Odile Meunier), Presses de l'Université des Sciences sociales de Toulouse, pp. 159-170, 2003. Among the Catholics - by which I mean the Catholics we would call committed today - with whom François Guizot associated, Henri Lacordaire does not rank very high. Montalembert, in this respect, is in a much better position, as evidenced by an abundant correspondence which shows, in the last years, an intimacy of ideas and of heart of a closeness long unsuspected. But the study on this point has been sketched out, which is not the case for the relationship between Guizot and Lacordaire, between a «Catholic of Protestantism» and a «Protestant of Catholicism», to use the expression of Eugène de Margerie, a liberal Catholic contemporary of the two men.[…]
The Guizots and England, by Laurent Theis, Comment, No. 140, Winter 2012-2013, pp. 1111-1119. On Thursday 27 February 1840, François Guizot, then aged 52, set foot on English soil for the first time. He was doing so by profession, if not by duty, as King Louis-Philippe's ambassador to the young Queen Victoria.[…]
