""The Regular Representation of Opinion"": Duvergier de Hauranne and Political Parties Conclusion Notes References Index"ReviewsGianna Englert's original and well-researched book invites her readers to reflect on the complex history of liberalism and the challenges to political democracy. She examines the language of political capacity in the writings of nineteenth-century political thinkers such as Guizot, Constant, Tocqueville, Laboulaye, and Duvergier de Hauranne, who teach us important lessons about the complex relationship between liberalism and democracy. An essential book for political theorists, historians of political thought, and intellectual historians. * Aurelian Craiutu, Professor and Chair of Political Science, Indiana University, Bloomington * The marriage of liberalism and democracy is in trouble, weakened by ideological infidelities on both sides. In a series of original and keenly observed studies focusing on key nineteenth-century French thinkers, Gianna Englert reveals how the emergence of a distinctive egalitarianism among liberals made the fusion of liberal and democratic commitments more than simply a marriage of convenience. Her impressive narrative breathes new life into forgotten debates over suffrage and electoral laws to illuminate both enduring tensions and elective affinities between majoritarian democracy and liberal values. * Cheryl B.
