Acknowledgments
This book has long been in the making. The essays included here were first presented at a conference held in Paris a few years ago, and we are thankful for all the help we received along the way from academic institutions, and individuals as well: François Brunet, the late Robert Mankin and the Laboratoire de Recherches en Cultures Anglophones (LARCA, UMR 8225), the Université Paris Diderot, the Fondation Deutsche de La Meurthe, Laura Lee Downs and the European Institute in Florence, and finally the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, where we had the good fortune to teach a seminar on conservatism for three years with Marc Olivier Baruch. We are also most grateful to our publishers Palgrave in the USA and the Editions de l’EHESS in France, for making it possible to publish this book in two languages and in different versions. A large number of colleagues, many of
