Wolfgang Asholt, Libertarian Spirit or Voluntary Servitude : the anarchists and the Revolution. Wolfgang Asholt registers the positions of nineteenth-century anarchists towards the French Revolution : condemnation of the bourgeois and Jacobin revolution in the name of an anti-authoritarian revolutionary ideal (Proudhon and the French anarchists from the middle of the century up to the Commune, Russian anarchists) ; the condemnation of all revolution in the name of individual revolt (Stirner, the French anarchists at the end of the century).

In the battle between Dreyfusards and anti-Dreyfusards, editorial milieus played a decisive role and influenced the terms of this polemical debate. Given that Dreyfus supporters were on the margins of the mainstream press and a minority in the realm of public opinion, they acquired independent publishing structures which provided them with full freedom of expression. These editorial structures allowed the Dreyfusards to oppose virulent anti-Dreyfusard caricatures and articles with books, essays in which they could deploy reasoned responses. Whereas Pierre-Victor Stock committed his publishing house wholeheartedly to the battle for the re-trial of Dreyfus, Peguy would, for his part, push to the extreme the political ideal that he defended throughout the Affair. His Cahiers de la Quinzaine, created according to a socialist ideal and without any concern for profitability, would enable him to continue to pursue his vision, his memory and his theory of Dreyfusism through to the end.

Frantz Jourdain was the architect of the "Samaritaine" department store and the president of the artistic "Salon d'Automne". He was initially well known on the score of his commitment towards artistic associations and of his writings. He wrote as a critic — salon's reviews, polemical articles... - and as a writer - short stories, novel, theater... His writings witness his knowledge of the artistic background, but also the influence of his "naturalist" friends such as Daudet, Zola and Goncourt. His autobiographie work - his novel L'Atelier Chantorel : mœurs d'artistes, and several other short stories — testifies the intricacy of Frantz Jourdain's links with architecture and architects. He was an ardent supporter of his art through his writings and buildings, but he severely judged his colleagues. Beyond the quality of his writings as a polemist, Frantz Jourdain gives us a rare testimony on the architectural stakes of his time.
