Alexander Sedgwick

Opis

Sedgwick presents an intensive examination of the political problems confronting French Royalists, Catholics, and conservative Republicans in their attempt to form a conservative party, within the framework of the Republic, in the decade dominated by the Panama Scandal and the Dreyfus Affair. Basing his analysis on unpublished papers and contemporary newspapers, pamphlets, and reviews often neglected in studies of the period, Sedgwick demonstrates that the failure of the movement can be traced to endemic French political attitudes, and that the "Ralliement" has significant historical implications which have not been generally recognized.
