Writers and Revolution Intellectuals and the French Revolution of 1848
Writers and Revolution Intellectuals and the French Revolution of 1848 a is multi-layered study of the short existence of the Second Republic. Lives were disrupted by sudden political change; dramatic events induced a vast range of emotions expressed in many written forms: letters, memoirs, poetry, novels, newspaper articles and political tracts. The author draws on samples of them all, using them to depict how these writers coped, how they sough…
Reproductive Citizens. Gender, Immigration, and the State in Modern France, 1880–1945
Contrary to what the title implies, the inter-war decades are at the heart of this study of gender and immigration in France; the last chapter is on the Vichy period and the first chapter is on the context of how discourse of natalist angst infused French thinking from the 1880s. The attention of the book is on case studies of immigrants’ engagement with officialdom and the material conditions of their assimilation into their adopted country, spe…
Vers l’égalité ou au-delà? Essai sur l’aube du socialisme
Socialism, the term invented by Leroux in the era of industrialization, became synonymous with new social science, philosophy and religion in the generation disgusted by an economy of individualism and laissez-faire that had produced such extremes of wealth and poverty. A return to its sources, suggests the author, shows they are worthy of reassessment. With the PS (Parti Socialiste) in France enduring its steepest ever national decline in electo…
Revolutionary Thought after the Paris Commune, 1871–1885
The founding and shaping of the parliamentary regime of the Third Republic is a muddled history to relate as it took two decades for politicians to agree to the structures of the executive and legislature, and to bring in social reforms. They eventually claimed a political legitimacy drawn from the Revolution, meaning that of 1789 rather than any of the subsequent revolutionary moments of the nineteenth century such as 1830, 1848 or, more content…
Marx, une passion française
The French passion for Marx and Marxism is a phenomenon that originated in the mid-nineteenth century through Marx’s presence in 1840s Paris during the formative years of socialism and because of the strength of his intellectual thought and his involvement in the first internationally formed labour organizations of the 1860s. This collection of essays shows how there has been a rise and fall of Marxist impact on French ideas and political movemen…
Socialism and the Experience of Time: Idealism and the Present in Modern France
The title of this work suggests the dominance of the theme of time but in fact it is crucial reading for scholars interested in the question of how French political ideas of the Left appeared in print and circulated before fading with the memory of their authors. Part I looks at modern ideas of the present and socialism, then socialist intellectuals in French history. Here the author cites Walter Benjamin’s essay On the Concept of History, writte…
Une traversée du siècle: Marguerite Thibert, Femme engagée et fonctionnaire internationale
Marguerite Thibert (1886–1982) was one of several women in an exhibition that was organized in 1982 by Yvette Roudy (then Mitterrand’s minister for women’s rights) and displayed in extra-large format in the foyer of the St Lazare station in Paris to commemorate the work of women in French history. The photo had been taken in October 1979 in the Geneva headquarters of the International Labour Organization (ILO) where the ninety-three-year-old Thib…

Poilu. The World War I Notebooks of Corporal Louis Barthas, Barrel maker 1914–1918Saleté de guerre! Correspondance 1915–1916
The centenary of the Great War has enhanced interest in the conflict from a local to a global perspective with French and American publishing houses being no exception. In addition to having the editor in common, the authors under review are connected by their relative geographical proximity and strong anti-militarist and pacifist opinions. They are also distinctly different in social origin: the first is by one of little formal learning, the sec…
