Using sophisticated statistical analysis as well as conventional historical sources, the work concludes that schooling reached a wider audience than has been so far believed and that substantial social mobility occurred within the school system, but that family background, rather than educational factors, directed students’ career aspirations and achievements. It also argues that although education expanded in urban, industrialized areas, mobility did not increase in these areas. A final chapter reconsiders nineteenth–century thought concerning education in the light of findings about the social effects of schools.High school studentsFranceSocial conditions19th centuryStudent aspirationsFranceHistory19th centuryOccupational mobilityFranceHistory19th centuryEducation, SecondaryFranceHistory19th centuryFranceSocial conditionsHigh school studentsSocial conditionsStudent aspirationsHistoryOccupational mobilityHistoryEducation, SecondaryHistory373.18/0944Harrigan Patrick1763376MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154972403321Mobility, elites, and education in French society of the second empire4203761UNINA
