"France in the Nineteenth Century" by Elizabeth Wormeley Latimer is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This work delves into France's intricate political landscape between 1830 and 1890, covering major events such as the reigns of Charles X and Louis Philippe, as well as the revolutions that shaped the nation's future. Through detailed narratives, it explores how these historical figures and events impacted the broader society and the path towards the formation of modern France. The opening portion of the book introduces the political climate of France following the return of Louis XVIII in 1815, emphasizing the transition from revolutionary fervor to a desire for stability and prosperity among the bourgeoisie. It outlines King Louis XVIII's struggles to navigate the expectations of the old nobility while appeasing the rising middle class and hints at the conspiracies that characterized his reign. As the narrative unfolds, it sets the stage for the upcoming challenges faced by subsequent monarchs, particularly Charles X, whose restrictive policies ultimately spark widespread unrest, leading to the revolutionary events of July 1830. This introduction presents a vivid backdrop of political tension and evolving ideologies, encouraging readers to grasp the complexities of France during this pivotal century.
