In December 1894, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a brilliant French artillery officer and a Jew of Alsatian descent, was court-martialed for selling secrets to the German military attaché in Paris based on perjured testimony and trumped-up evidence. The sentence was military degradation and life imprisonment on Devil's Island, a hellhole off the coast of French Guiana. Five years later, the case was overturned, and eventually Dreyfus was completely exonerated. Meanwhile, the Dreyfus Affair tore France apart, pitting Dreyfusards-committed to restoring freedom and honor to an innocent man convicted of a crime committed by another-against nationalists, anti-Semites, and militarists who preferred having an innocent man rot to exposing the crimes committed by ministers of war and the army's top brass in order to secure Dreyfus's conviction.Was the Dreyfus Affair merely another instance of the rise in France of a virulent form of anti-Semitism? In Why the Dreyfus Affair Matters, the acclaimed novelist draws upon his legal expertise to create a riveting account of the famously complex case, and to remind us of the interest each one of us has in the faithful execution of laws as the safeguard of our liberties and honor.

France's Dreyfus Affair (1894-1906) has become a fable of sorts for modern democratic society, with a moral designed to fit its never-ending quest for justice and truth. While countless books have chronicled the wrongful conviction of French military officer Alfred Dreyfus, his ensuing trials, and his eventual exoneration, this distinctive volume examines the Affair with a critical eye, analyzing the actions of its main protagonists, the rise of the public intellectual, and the Affair's continued relevance. After a brief overview of the events to establish the poisoned ideological climate of t

'Ceremonies of Bravery' is a study of the friendship between the prolific writer Oscar Wilde and Carlos Blacker. The two men met in the 1880s, the period when Wilde was judged by many to be at his best, and Blacker went on to become a trustee of Wilde's marriage settlement.

Should we view moments of democratic failure as revealing the failure of democracy, or as revealing a contested, contingent failing that could have been otherwise? This is the question that Lida Maxwell examines via exploration of three writers' diagnoses of, and responses to, democratic failure in three sets of trial writings: Edmund Burke's writings on the Warren Hastings impeachment in late 18th century Britain, Emile Zola's writings on the Dreyfus Affair in late 19th century France, and Hannah Arendt's writings on the Eichmann trial in 1960s Israel.

From the very moment Alfred Dreyfus was placed under arrest for treason and espionage, his entire world was turned upside down, and for the next five years he lived in what he called a phantasmagoria. To keep himself sane, Dreyfus wrote letters to and received letters from his wife Lucie and exercised his intellect through reading the few books and magazines his censors allowed him, writing essays on these and other texts he had read in the past, and working out problems in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. He practiced his English and created strange drawings his prison wardens called architectural or kabbalistic signs. In this volume, Norman Simms explores how Dreyfus kept himself from exploding into madness by reading his essays carefully, placing them in the context of his century, and extrapolating from them the hidden recesses of the Jewish Alsatian background he shared with the Dreyfus family and Lucie Hadamard.

Le capitaine Alfred Dreyfus fut réhabilité le 12 juillet 1906 par un arrêt de la Cour de cassation. Cet acte solennel et officiel détruisait l'accusation de « haute trahison », attestée par deux conseils de guerre, du brillant officier juif, intellectuel et moderniste, dont il proclamait la pleine et entière innocence. Tout au long d'un combat de plus de douze ans, combat finalement victorieux contre le nationalisme, l'antisémitisme et la raison d'État, où le régime républicain et la société française durent admettre la primauté des valeurs de justice et de vérité, l'École normale supérieure joua un rôle décisif qui marqua profondément l'institution, ses élèves, ses enseignants et, au-delà, l'ensemble du monde intellectuel et scientifique. Parmi ces normaliens, dreyfusards de la première heure — Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, Salomon Reinach, Alexandre Bertrand, Paul Appell —, il faut rappeler avec force le rôle de Lucien Herr, socialiste, germaniste et philosophe, directeur de la Bibliothèque des lettres de la rue d'Ulm. Sa conviction précoce puis son engagement total furent déterminants, à la fois pour lancer le mouvement dreyfusard à partir de janvier 1898 et pour mobiliser toute la communauté normalienne. Cette mobilisation inaugura des pratiques collectives ou individuelles, analytiques ou critiques, brèves ou déployées, bref un ensemble de postures et de procédures qui constituèrent ce qui fut appelé le mouvement des « intellectuels » au cours de l'affaire Dreyfus. Peu nombreux, les antidreyfusards de l'École furent emmenés par des conservateurs catholiques, tels les académiciens Jules Lemaître ou Ferdinand Brunetière. Naquirent alors des débats passionnants et victorieux sur la légitimité du rôle du chercheur dans la cité et le devoir de connaissance dans l'engagement. Réunie par Vincent Duclert, professeur agrégé à l'École des Hautes Études en sciences sociales et biographe d'Alfred Dreyfus (Fayard, 2006), la présente anthologie raisonnée des écrits normaliens sur…

La vie et la carrière d'Émile Zola, intellectuel public par excellence, ont été suivies avec un mélange de fascination et de méfiance par les militants anarchistes de son temps. Des grands succès romanesques à l'affaire Dreyfus, et de là jusqu'à sa mort imprévue, son parcours a été commenté, critiqué, admiré, par ces révolutionnaires intransigeants qui auraient aimé pouvoir compter sur un écrivain célèbre parmi les fervents de leur cause. Cet ouvrage propose vingt-six articles parus dans la presse libertaire, précédés d'une étude historique, qui nous renvoient l'image d'un autre Zola que celui qui nous a été légué par l'histoire littéraire. Un Zola plus grand dans les défauts comme dans les qualités, un Zola tel qu'on a pu le lire, tel qu'on a pu le voir, le connaître, dans bien des cas lui parler, l'entendre. Un Zola tel qu'on a su l'imaginer et aussi un Zola qui a existé, à côté des autres qu'on connaît ou qu'on croyait connaître. Une autre Vérité qui est, elle aussi, en marche.

Paris in 1871 was a shambles following military defeat, siege, and a bloody uprising, and the question loomed, ""Could this extraordinary city even survive?"" By 1900, the Belle Epoque was in full flower, but the decades between were marked by tension and conflict, as the new challenged the old in everything from politics to art, literature, music, science, and engineering. Mary McAuliffe takes the reader back to these perilous years following the abrupt collapse of the Second Empire and France's uncertain venture into the Third Republic-examining this era through the eyes of

Le centenaire du début de l'affaire Dreyfus invite à revenir sur l'alchimie complexe qui conduisit d'une confidentielle affaire d'espionnage à un grand débat public, crise emblématique et paradigme du passage à l'État de droit, mais aussi de la lutte constante contre préjugés et pulsions irrationnelles qu'implique la démocratie. À ce titre, l'affaire Dreyfus reste une leçon permanente. Compte tenu de la position particulière de la France dans le monde de l'époque, point de référence pour tous les hommes épris de liberté et de justice, cette fièvre hexagonale eut un retentissement quasi planétaire. Ceci attestait l'irrésistible ascension du quatrième pouvoir, celui de la presse, avec ses droits, mais aussi ses responsabilités, pour le meilleur et pour le pire. À deux pas du lycée de Rennes, siège du second Conseil de guerre en 1899 et placé aujourd'hui sous l'invocation d'Émile Zola, le Musée de Bretagne conserve depuis 1978 un fonds de documents, en particulier des témoignages de soutien reçus par la famille Dreyfus, de France et du monde entier. La rencontre en ce lieu, en septembre 1994, de spécialistes, français et étrangers, a donc fait se rejoindre la mémoire, qui est une ardente obligation, et l'histoire, laquelle travaille « à frais nouveaux », élargissant sans cesse sa quête de documents, de l'écrit à l'image, traités avec des méthodes renouvelées.
