  • Jean-Yves Mollier
    French publishing in World War Two: A habitus of submission? Jean-Yves Mollier The present article sets out to explore the situation of French publishing between June 1940 and August 1944. Before addressing the main argument, however, it is important to bear in mind that it is difficult to understand this key sector of French cultural life in the period immediately prior to the Nazi occupation without looking back at its development over the preceding decades and even centuries. Similarly, understanding the deeper meaning underlying the attitude of the leading publishers who occupied the higher echelons of the publishing union means bearing in mind their “centuries-old habitus of submission”1 to authority. Take for example the “voluntary delegation of notables representing Paris's industrial sector” led by the industrialists Emile Menier and Jean- François Cail and the printer Henri Plon to the Elysée Palace on December 19, 1851 to thank Louis- Napoléon Bonaparte for “guaranteeing the defence of order, family, and property” after seizing power in a coup seventeen days earlier.2 Though it is important not to overstate the importance of such an event in the contemporary context, it can be seen as symbolic of a craven attitude to power that remained largely unchanged in the summer of 1940. Napoleon I and his successors set up a system to police the book trade, with inspectors whose task it was to keep a close eye not only on ports and borders, but also printers, bookshops, pedlars, second-hand bookshops, and any other premises or itinerant points of sale where books could be acquired.

  • Publishing in the Nineteenth Century
    1 Publishing in the Nineteenth Century Originally published as “Editer au XIXe siècle”, Revue d’histoire littéraire de la France, vol. 107, no. 4, 2007, pp. 771–90. Introduction When Roger Chartier and Henri-Jean Martin were preparing the introduction to the first volume of their monumental Histoire de l’Édition francaise (History of French publishing), which they entitled Le livre conquérant. Du Moyen Age au milieu du XVIIe siècle (The Conquering Book. From the Middle Ages to the mid-seventeenth century), they encountered a problem – one might even call it an aporia. They explained their twin debt both to Lucien Febvre, the initiator of research into the history of the book,1 and to Jean-Pierre Vivet, a journalist turned director of Promodis Publishing, who had expressed his desire to “see [the publisher] placed at the center of these four volumes,” which he had entrusted to them.2 This outspoken directive implied that the figure of the publisher long predated the invention of printing, and that he had been performing the role of broker or mediator without interruption from the thirteenth up to the twentieth century, as is the case today. The two editors were very well aware that sustaining such a notion could prove risky, and so they added this further comment, which partly contradicted what had gone before: The story we would like to tell is one in which the role of the publisher was gradually asserted and became more clearly defined; he was bold in the age of the conquering 1 Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin, L’apparition du livre (Paris: Albin Michel, 1958), translated into English as The Coming of the Book: The Impact of Printing, 1450-1800 (London: Verso, 1976).
