Abstract: This article aims to add an important new dimension to the historical scholarship on early socialism by analysing the Saint-Simonian encounter with Owenism during the first decades of the nineteenth century. The article shows how the Saint Simonian interpretation of Owenism was shaped by the manner by which the Saint-Simonians disseminated their doctrine. It draws on a number of neglected texts to show what the Saint-Simonians drew from Owen's work and how they set out to distinguish themselves from Owen and his French followers. The article focuses on key Saint-Simonian publications, including Le Globe and those edited by women members of the movement, Jeanne-Désirée Veret and Marie-Reine Guindorf's La Tribune des femmes, and its early iterations. The article shows in detail the extent to which the Saint-Simonians saw Owen's work as threatening to their cause, and how they formulated a thoroughgoing critique of it.
