Intellectual Founders of the Republic by Sudhir Hazareesingh
In this innovative study of French political culture, Sudhir Hazareesingh re-examines the origins of modern republicanism through the writings and political practices of five key nineteenth century intellectuals: Jules Barni, Charles Dupont-White, Emile Littr , Eug ne Pelletan, and Etienne Vacherot.
The most fascinating aspect of this closely analysed volume, that will be a treasure trove for specialists, are the numerous illustrations of continuity in liberal thought throughout the nineteenth century* English Historical Review *
Sudhir Hazareesingh is to be congratulated on expanding from his previous work on the under-studied Second Empire to the early years of the Third Republic, with a backward glance to the pre-1851 decades. He has added a distinctive interpretation of the French version of republicanism that is markedly different from its rival Anglo-American affiliation with liberalism. * History of Political Thought *
Wide-ranging and close scrutiny of the texts ... By his subtlety of analysis and sustained sensitivity to nuance and complexity, steering the reader circumspectly through the shoals of improvised theory and intransigent practice, we are treated to a closely documented scrutiny of a liberal republicanism groping its way towards a consensual Republic. * History of Political Thought *
Honest and erudite. * Political Studies *
Challenges many of the pieties of standard accounts of the evolution of the republican tradition ... important revisionist work. * James F. McMillan, Times Literary Supplement *
