Raymond Poincaré is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Raymond Poincaré as French statesman and lawyer, President of France (1860-1934).
Raymond Poincaré was born at Bar-le-Duc in 1860. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at Paris Law Faculty.
The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.
The record gives his occupations as politician, lawyer and journalist.
His affiliations include University of Glasgow.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
His recorded fields of work are politics and law.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece (1913) and Grand Master 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.
Raymond Poincaré died in 1934 at the age of 74. The work outlived the arguments around it.
