Paul Lafargue and the Flowering of French Socialism, 1882-1911
Paul Lafargue and the Flowering of French Socialism, 1882–1911
Lafargue, disciple and son-in-law of Karl Marx, helped found the first French Marxist party in 1882, and over the next three decades, served as its chief theoretician and propagandist. Here, Derfler explores Lafargue’s political strategies and his attempts to apply Marxist methods of analysis to anthropology, aesthetics, and literary criticism.

Marxism at Work
Paul Lafargue and the Beginnings of Marxism in France
Paul Lafargue (1842-1911), the son-in-law and disciple of Karl Marx, helped to found the first French collectivist party. His role is described in some detail as is his position of superiority in the socialist movement, thanks to his close ties to Marx and Engels. However, it was this same sense of superiority that contributed to the reductionism and sectarianism that came to characterize the French Marxist parties
Fourteenth Annual Conference of the Western Society for French History
Sessions on biographical approaches to reform in the Third Republic, feminine sociability in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, France in the world economy under the Third Republic, the Mitterrand years, and a luncheon talk by Robert Paxton on rural fascism in the 1930s were some of the panels of interest to historians of French labor at this large conference, held in Baltimore on November 19-22, 1986. Topics covered by the panel on feminin…

The French Communist Party and the Crisis of International Communism
Reformism and Jules Guesde
A subtitle of this essay could conceivably read, “a subject in search of a biographer”. It examines the motives of Jules Guesde, who introduced and organized Marxism in France, in shifting from revolutionary to reformist, and back to a revolutionary position. In charting these movements I have applied some new evidence, that found in recently available police archives, to an old problem
