Les sous-préfets de Bretagne sous la monarchie de Juillet (1830-1848) : une génération d’administrateurs à part ?
Abstracts
This article, based on the systematic study of the career files, proposes an analysis of the role of the sub-prefects appointed in Bittany during the July monarchy period. At first sight their important mobility appears as a real handicap for the development of their action. Indeed, most of them came from other regions and keep moving from one place to the other. Yet, their action is real: the concern for a stabilized social political order and the wish to inaugurate an era of progress are the two main dimensions, linked together, of an original local policy, reflecting the spirit of the new political system. Finally, the example of the sub-prefect Auguste Romieu, on whom we have many documents, shows that, at least in some cases, the justification of this action rests on a liberalism inherited from the Enlightenment, which identifies political freedom with national integration.
