Book Description
The Paris Commune was the biggest and last popular revolution in western Europe - ending the cycle of revolutions that started in 1789. The Parisians, reeling from defeat in the Franco-Prussian War set up their own revolutionary administration. Government troops eventually retook the city and took a terrible revenge: thousands died in the bloodbath that followed. The short-lived Commune and its repression cast a long shadow. It exposed deep divisions in French society and became a potent inspiration for the radical left. This stirring new study written with great zest, and a vivid sense of time and place lets the reader experience these tumultuous events at first hand and provides a comprehensive synthesis of recent research in both French and English.

Book Description
During the hardships of the Franco-Prussian War, working-class radicalism grew among soldiers. In March 1871, soldiers of the National Guard seized control of the city. They refused to accept the authority of the French government instead of attempting to establish an independent government. These events entered history under the name of the Paris Commune of 1871. The Commune governed Paris for two months. Their policies were directed toward a progressive, anti-religious system of social democracy, including the separation of church and state, self-policing, the remission of rent during the siege, the abolition of child labor, and the right of employees to take over an enterprise deserted by its owner. The Commune was eventually suppressed by the French national Army in May 1871. This book presents the history of Commune from the point of view of the participants.

The Central Committee found in the bureau of the War-Office, and the Officiel of the Commune published on the 25th April, the following letter from the supreme commander of the artillery of the army to General Suzanne: -- "Paris, 12th December 1870. "My Dear Suzanne, --I have not found among the young auxiliaries your protege' Hetzel, but only a M. Hessel. Is it he who is meant? "Tell me frankly what you desire, and I will do it. I will attach him to my staff, where he will be bored, having nothing to do, or else I will send him to Mont Vale'rien, where he will run less risk than at Paris (this for the parents), and where ho will have the air of firing the cannons into the air, according to Noel's method. "Unbutton--your mouth, of course.--Yours, GuiOD." The Noel mentioned at that time commanded Mont Vale'rien. II.--(Page 83.) The rdle of the Central Committee during the day of the i&th March. "I would remind you that the members of the Committee had separated at about half-past three in the morning of the 17 th to the 18th. Before raising the sitting it had been decided that the meeting of the following day should take place at eleven o'clock in the evening, at a school requisitioned for the purpose in the Eue Basfroi. "Despite the lateness of the hour, nothing had transpired as to the movements which the Government had decided upon, and the Committee having only just constituted itself for the examination of its powers and the distribution of the commissions, had received no information which might have led it to suppose the imminence of the peril. Its military commission had not yet begun to work; it had taken possession of the documents, notes, and minutes of the former one, and that was all. "You know how...

Book Description
Despite the scholarship and political activism devoted to keeping the memory of the Paris Commune alive, there still remains much ignorance both in France and elsewhere. Between 20,000 and 35,000 people were killed on the streets of Paris in just the final week of the traumatic civil war of 1871. Colette Wilson identifies a critical blind-spot in French studies and employs new critical approaches to neglected texts, marginalized aspects of the illustrated press, early photography, and a selection of novels by Emile Zola. This book will be of interest to students and academics studying France in the 19th century from a number of different perspectives: war and revolution studies, cultural studies, history and cultural memory, literature, art history, photography, the illustrated press, city studies, and human geography.
