“This monograph is engagingly written, with a good eye for narrative detail, which should make this study accessible to a pretty wide audience. … This is a well-written and interesting book, which will prove useful to students of nineteenth-century proto-socialism and utopian radicalism.” (Ambrogio A. Caiani, History - Journal of the Historical Association, December, 2015)
"One cannot fault the range of [Pilbeam's] research: not only the Arsenal (where the archives of Saint-Simon and Prosper Enfantin run into 47 volumes, plus the less often exploited Fonds d'Eichthal), but the Archives d'Outre-Mer too. The originality of the book is furthered by her use of primary printed sources by such authors as the hostile Edward Hancock, who was appalled by the Saint-Simonians' 'horrid doings' (91). What Pilbeam shows in her clear, occasionally mischievous, wideranging account is that where the Saint-Simonians succeeded, it was through compromise and shrewd lobbying of governmental and financial institutions. Much ofthe history of the Saint-Simonians is a list of frustrated dreams and errors. It is often a hard fate to be a precursor." - Maura Hametz, Old Dominion University, USA
