At the end of 1871 Parisians opposed to the government of Adolphe Thiers elected a revolutionary council in Paris. Thiers fled to Versailles and subsequently organised a siege of the city in order to wrest control from the Communards. In May the Versailles troops entered Paris and at the end of the month the Commune was defeated. ln the bloody reprisals that followed some 18,000 Parisians died and almost 7,000 were deported. Communes were also crushed in other French cities and the repression cast a long shadow over relations between radicals and conservatives for years to come. 4. In 1815, after the fall of Napoleon, the monarchy was restored (Louis XVIII, 1815-25; Charles X, 1825-30). In July 1830, after three days of riots, Charles X was forced to abdicate and was replaced by Louis-Philippe whose july Monarchy lasted until 1848. Louis-Philippe was then forced to abdicate and, in February 1848, the Second Republic was proclaimed. There remained a strong current of support for a return to the monarchy in the early days of the Third Republic, but the intransigence of the Bourbon grandson of Charles X, the Comte de Chambord, ruled out any restoration at that juncture. 5. R. Tombs, France 1814-1914, Longman, 1996, p. 442. 6. General Georges Boulanger (1837-91) fought in the Franco-Prussian War and later became a passionate advocate of French revenge against Germany. He acted as a lightning conductor for public hostility to the Third Republic from across the political spectrum. He was elected many times to Parliament but could not take his seat until he was retired from the army in 1888. In 1889 it seemed likely that he would lead a coup against the Republic but this failed to materialise. 187 188 Notes, pp. 12-25 A warrant was issued for his arrest for treason and he fled to Belgium where he committed suicide two years later. 7. The Panama Canal Company had needed extra capital to meet unanticipated building costs which it raised by means of a special loan which was sup­ ported by politicians and newspapers. In 1889 the company went bankrupt leaving thousands of shareholders ruined. The involvement of politicians damaged both the reputation of the Republic and parliamentary democracy. 8. L.

On September 23, 1943 the Vilna Ghetto, established two years earlier by occupying German forces, was liq- uidated, and the remaining Jews were either deported or murdered in the nearby Ponar Woods. With this act of brutality and inhumanity, the centuries old history of the so-called “Jerusalem of the North” or “Jerusalem of Lithuania” ended. The cultural treasures generated into a “Yidishland”, particularly in Vilna – the Yiddish name of the Lithuanian capital Vilnius – are reflected not only in the theatrical and literary worlds. The publishing indus- try of the time attested to a lively interest among reader- ship in Yiddish literature, but also on Yiddish translations of European, especially German authors.

  • René Galand, Saint-John Perse, Poet of the Universal
    René Galand, Saint-John Perse, poet of the universal Saint-John Perse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1960. Most of the French writers who have won this prize wrote in prose: Romain Rolland, Anatole France, Bergson, Roger Martin du Gard, Gide, Mauriac, Camus, Sartre, Claude Simon. Sartre declined the award: accepting it would have against all his principles. It would have meant condoning the use of literature to give legitimacy to capitalistic institutions. One must recall, however that the first Nobel Prize ever given to a French writer went to a poet: Sully-Prudhomme, who is remembered mostly for a sonnet which appeals mostly to sentimental young persons: “ Le Vase brisé ” [The broken vase]. From Sully-Prudhomme to Saint-John Perse: in the span od half a century, the literary taste of members of the Nobel Academy has remarkably advanced. Saint-John Perse, as is well know, is the pen-name of Alexis Saint-Leger Leger. From the moment when he reached a high rank in the diplomatic service, he felt he had to make a complete separation between his official personality and his literary activity. But why did he choose such an Anglo-Saxon sounding pseudonym? Different explanations have been suggested. It is possible that Alexis Leger, who believes in the prophetic power of poets, was thinking of Saint-John the Baptist whose voice was heard in the desert. Others have indicated that “Saint-John” might come from the American writer of French descent Saint-Jean de Crèvecoeur. Others still, considering the West Indian origins of the poet, have thought that it might allude to the Caribbean island of Saint-John, or that perhaps it could be the English translation of the name of San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico.

  • From Flaubert to Sartre1
    THE WRITER’S RESPONSIBILITY IN FRANCE From Flaubert to Sartre1 Gisèle Sapiro Centre national de la recherche scientifique As Michel Foucault observed in his famous essay, “Qu’est-ce qu’un auteur?” before discourse was a product, it was an act that could be punished.2 The author’s appropriation of discourse as his personal property is secondary to its ascription to his name through penal responsibility. In France, authorial responsibility was introduced in 1551 through royal legislation directed at controlling the book market. The Chateaubriant edict made it compulsory to print both the author’s and the printer’s names on any publication. The notion of responsibility is thus a fundamental aspect of the emergence of the figure of the modern writer. The state first imposed this conception of respon- sibility in order to control the circulation of discourses. But after writers inter- nalized the notion, they deployed it against the state in their struggle to establish their moral right on their work and to have literary property recog- nized as individual property, a struggle that culminated in 1777 with a royal decree recognizing literary compositions as products of labor from which authors were entitled to derive an income.3 This professional development reinforced the writer’s social prestige and status, in Max Weber’s sense.4 The withdrawal of the state from the control of the book market and the abjuration of censorship entailed the need for new legislation restricting the principle of freedom of speech, which had been proclaimed in Article XI of the 1789 Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme et du citoyen.

The plays are customarily passed over as an appendage to his poetry, and the prose works are almost entirely neglected, except as philosophical documents. Though the poems are constantly being examined and explicat¬ ed, the prose style is mentioned only incidentally: "one may observe in passing that the section on history in A Vision includes the finest 1 rhythmic prose written in English since that of Sir Thomas Browne." The paradox is that though Yeats* s dramatic movement, in the form of the Abbey Theatre, exerted great influence on English and American drama, his plays themselves remain outside the realm of influence and have not passed into the tradition of English drama.
