  Albert Sorel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Sorel (August 13, 1842 - June 29, 1906), was a French historian.
In 1870 he was chosen as secretary by M. de Chaudordy, who had been sent to Tours as a delegate in charge of the diplomatic side of the problem of national defence; he proved a most valuable collaborator, full of finesse, good temper and excellent judgment, and at the same time hard-working and discreet.
In 1875 Sorel left the Foreign Office and became general secretary to the newly-created office of the Présidence du sénat.

 Albert Sorel Biography / Biography of Albert Sorel Biography Biography
Albert Sorel was born to a wealthy industrial family of Honfleur.
By 1863 Sorel published a series of articles in which he argued that a general history of France could not be written without previous histories of the villages and cities of the country, allowing the picture of the whole to be built up by a mosaic of parts.
Sorel died one of the most respected and most influential of modern historians, his work forcing men to study the quality of the most basic structures of a society rather than simply placing blame or credit on individuals or groups.

 WHEN EVERY DAY WAS THE FOURTH OF JULY (1978, U.S.)
Gentle Albert is made fun of by most of the neighborhood children, but Sarah thinks he's a very sweet man. In fact, Albert invites Sarah up to his hotel room, in order to show her the cache of fireworks materials he has.
Surely, Albert's explosive burst of rage at being accused of child molestation shows that here is not a lame, deferential buffoon, but a very wounded, yet very proud man, one fully aware of his responsibility to his community, and to himself.
Albert and Sarah make an appearance, hand in hand, and the town celebrates their hard-won peace and tranquility, a peace which was sadly to be short-lived, as another terrible war loomed just over the horizon...

Behind the glittering facade of 18th century European civilization lurked some of the most brutal and cynical power brokers ever to practice the art of diplomacy, and ironically it was their blueprint for conquest that the French Revolution was to utilize so well.
In this brief introduction to his mighty history, Sorel gives us a sweeping and incisive understanding of the workings of court diplomacy as practiced from the time of Louis XIV up to the Revolution itself.
It is an ugly picture of beautifully dressed women and gentlemen behaving in the most barbarous fashion, while doing so with grace and in a mannered style that was so brilliant and compelling that we can only wonder how they could carry out their perfidy and remain outwardly so cavalier.

Sciences Po was established in 1872 as the École Libre des Sciences Politiques (ELSP) by a group of intellectuals, politicians and businessmen including Hippolyte Taine, Ernest Renan, Albert Sorel, Paul Leroy Beaulieu, François Guizot, and led by Emile Boutmy.
Following the defeat in the 1870 war, the demise of Napoleon III, the Paris Commune, these men sought to introduce new teaching reforms in order to renew the training of French politicians.

 Hamilton
Composed of archivists, librarians, distinguished historians and former and serving diplomats, and inspired by the Prussian enterprise, the Commission decided in 1880 to begin the editing and publication of the instructions given to French envoys in the period 1648-1789.
These were the Recueil des Instructions données aux Ambassadeurs et Ministres de France depuis les traités de Westphalie jusqu’à la Révolution française, the first volume of which was edited by Albert Sorel and covered relations with Austria.
A series of this nature, even though it dealt with events of previous centuries, was almost bound to raise sensitive issues, particularly when editorial comment conflicted, as it sometimes did, with current policy concerns.

 Napoleon Series Reviews: Metternich: the Autobiography
And as time passes, memories fade and alter as events are internalized into one's inner narrative, which often tends to favor and flatter oneself.
French historian Albert Sorel complained of Metternich's account of events:  "He makes himself the light of the world; he dazzles himself with his own rays in the mirror which he holds perpetually before his eyes."  Though Sorel himself has his own axe to grind as Pieter Geyl has pointed out. 
Outside of France there was no statesman who knew [Napoleon] so well, none who had such opportunities for seeing and understanding him under widely differing circumstances.

 Paulo Sarpi's afterlife - The New Companion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
I opened James Wood's The Broken Estate and flipped immediately to an essay on George Steiner, who had been undergoing a low-key re-evaluation in my mind for the last few years.
Near the beginning of the essay, Wood quotes Steiner on the very few books Steiner admits to not having read: Albert Sorel's eight-volume Europe and the French Revolution, Henri-Frederic Amiel's journals,--and Paulo Sarpi's "leviathan" History of the Council of Trent.
I know it all sounds laughably recherché, but the coincidence felt spooky.

Rather, it has led to the study of matters which, though not altogether neglected by past masters like Albert Sorel, were ignored in most earlier approaches to the subject.
A veteran historian of eighteenth-century French politics and culture, Norman Hampson has taken a methodologically modest step in the direction of the new study of foreign relations in this short work, which focuses primarily on French perceptions of Britain and secondarily on British perceptions of France during the Revolutionary decade.
