Owen Holland

Literature and Revolution

British Responses to the Paris Commune of 1871

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Parisian Communards fought for a vision of internationalism, radical democracy and economic justice for the working masses that cut across national borders. Its eventual defeat resonated far beyond Paris. Literature and Revolution examines how authors in Britain projected their hopes and fears in literary representations of the Commune.
