Gunn studies the French effort during 1814 to 1848 to adopt the set of common understandings that lent a comparative stability to British government. The institutions of a loyal opposition and disciplined political parties seemed to be implicit in the parliamentary model, but their acceptance foundered on French reluctance to accord legitimacy to political opponents. A sophisticated minority - including such major figures as Chateaubriand, Constant, Mme de Staël, and Guizot - recognized the need for something approaching the British political culture, but the wounds opened by the Revolution could not readily be healed. A more or less complete acceptance of the civil disagreement that was the spirit of the British model had to await the Fifth Republic. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's studies in the history of ideas ;$v46. 606 $aPolitical science$zFrance 607 $aFrance$xPolitics and government$y1814-1830 607 $aFrance$xPolitics and government$y1830-1848 615 0$aPolitical science 676 $a320.944/09034 700 $aGunn$b J.
