The word “peuple” (meaning both “people” and “working class”) is one of the most frequent in the social discourse of the 19th century. From Michelet to Larousse, from Balzac to Zola, its definitions and literary representations tend however to drain the people of any historical substance. Moreover, from one text to another, a complex blending of sociology, anthropology, physiology and raciology seems to lead the popular classes outside the very border of civilization.
