Jean Casimir-Perier made a career in public life at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Jean Casimir-Perier as 6th President of the French Republic (1847–1907).
Jean Casimir-Perier was born at former 1st arrondissement of Paris in 1847. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at Lycée Condorcet and University of Paris.
The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.
He worked as politician and diplomat.
Political reputations are settled slowly, and rarely by the people who made them.
Recognition followed: Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, Grand Master of the Legion of Honour and Knight of the Legion of Honour.
Working from France shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Jean Casimir-Perier died in 1907, aged 60. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
