Contents The commune as quotidian event -- The commune as violent trauma -- The French revolutionary tradition -- Rehabilitating revolution -- Texts in translation -- The origins of Marxism in modern France -- Deportation, imperialism, and the republican state -- Exile and universal solidarity Summary This first comprehensive account of French revolutionary thought in the years between the crushing of France's last nineteenth-century revolution and the re-emergence of socialism as a meaningful electoral force offers new interpretations of the French revolutionary tradition. Drawing together material from Europe, North America, and the South Pacific, Julia Nicholls pieces together the nature and content of French revolutionary thought in this often overlooked era. She shows that this was an important and creative period, in which activists drew upon fresh ideas they encountered in exile across the world to rebuild a revolutionary movement that was both united and politically viable in the changed circumstances of France's new Third Republic. The relative success of these efforts, moreover, has significant implications for the ways in which we understand the founding years of the Third Republic, the nature of the modern revolutionary tradition, and the origins of European Marxism Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 21, 2019) Subject Socialism -- France -- History -- 19th century Revolutionaries -- France -- History -- 19th century Politics and government Revolutionaries Socialism SUBJECT France -- Politics and government -- 1870-1940. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85051483 France -- History -- Third Republic, 1870-1940. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85051411 Paris (France) -- History -- Commune, 1871. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85098061 Subject France France -- Paris Genre/Form History Form Electronic book ISBN 9781108600002 110860000X 9781108634199 1108634192
