Product Review
"A richly textured account The benefit to Rosenband's approach is its nuance and richness of detail that allows readers to enter into the world of papermaking and to follow the peculiar logic of the culture and institutional arrangements of this industry. Those who want to experience one segment of an evolving artisanal world of work from the ground up will find much to savor." -- Gail Bossenga, Journal of Interdisciplinary History
"While Leonard N. Rosenband's monograph is primarily a study of one mill and its enterprising owners, it can serve as an English-language introduction to the whole subject of artisanal papermaking." -- David Longfellow, American Historical Review
"Elegantly written and well researched." -- Michael Huberman, EH.Net
"A significant contribution to an almost unknown economic sector, papermaking As interesting for the historian of Modern France before the Revolution as it is for the historian of the nineteenth-century economy. Both will find in Rosenband's work reliable information, deep knowledge and reflection." -- Marc de Ferrière Le Vayer, Business History
"Papermaking in Eighteenth-Century France provides a fresh model for historians This book poses a fundamental challange to many orthodox methods and conventional approaches in economic history and the history of technology. It raises an many questions as it answers With any luck, it will motivate others to tend this rich and, until now, relatively unculitvated ground." -- Andre Wakefield, Technology and Culture
"Many will profit from Rosenband's long study and clear narrative." -- James E. May, Eighteenth Century: Current Bibliography
Product Review
"Papermaking in Eighteenth-Century France is a crisp and extremely well-written exploration of the attempts by the Montgolfier family to restructure their paper mills. Its originality lies in its combination of technological history and the investigation of a specific problem in the workplace -- the implementation of a new system of recruitment, training, and rewards." -- Judith A. Miller, Emory University
