Paperback. Condition: New. In 1682 the French explorer René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle claimed the Mississippi River basin for France, naming the region Louisiana to honor his king, Louis XIV. Until the United States acquired the territory in the Louisiana Purchase more than a century later, there had never been a revolution, per se, in Louisiana. However, as Jennifer Tsien highlights in this groundbreaking work, revolutionary sentiment clearly surfaced in the literature and discourse both in the Louisiana colony and in France with dramatic and far-reaching consequences.In Rumors of Revolution, Tsien analyzes documented observations made in Paris and in New Orleans about the exercise of royal power over French subjects and colonial Louisiana stories that laid bare the arbitrary powers and abuses that the government could exert on its people against their will. Ultimately, Tsien establishes an implicit connection between histories of settler colonialism in the Americas and the fate of absolutism in Europe that has been largely overlooked in scholarship to date.…

soft cover. Condition: as new. first edition. In-8° broché - - - Critique est une revue littéraire, philosophique et artistique mensuelle créée en 1946 par Georges Bataille, puis dirigée pendant cinquante ans par son ami Jean Piel. Paraissant à l'origine aux éditions du Chêne, elle est éditée depuis 1950 par Les Éditions de Minuit. Georges Bataille veut créer dès la fin de l'année 1945 une nouvelle revue qui rendrait compte selon lui de « l'essentiel de la pensée humaine prise dans les meilleurs livres. L'une des plus anciennes revues, Le Journal des savants qui date du xviie siècle suivait cette formule. » Le projet n'aboutit que l'année suivante et en juin 1946 paraît le premier numéro qui comporte notamment un article sur Henry Miller dont Bataille prendra plus tard la défense après son inculpation pour obscénité. Critique porte en sous-titre : Revue générale des publications françaises et étrangères ; et sous la direction de Bataille, avec Pierre Prévost comme rédacteur en chef, le comité de rédaction comprend à l'origine Maurice Blanchot, Albert Ollivier, Éric Weil, Jules Monnerot et Pierre Josserand . Le second comité, considérablement élargi, comptera une trentaine de membres, parmi lesquels on peut citer Marcel Arland, Raymond Aron, Louis de Broglie, René Char, René Huyghe, Alexandre Koyré, Mario Praz, Paul Rivet, Jean Wahl. Après Pierre Prévost, c'est Éric Weil qui sera le rédacteur en chef, remplacé ensuite par Jean Piel. Contrairement à de précédentes revues qu'il anima, comme Documents ou Acéphale, s'agissant de Critique, Georges Bataille n'en fit pas « l'organe » d'une communauté, sans compter que la revue perdure, contrairement aux entreprises brèves et chaotiques initiées par Bataille. De fait, la plus grande disparité préside à la rédaction de la revue, même si beaucoup de contributeurs, mais pas tous, sont des amis de Bataille. Au sommaire des quatre premiers numéros parus entre juin et septembre 1946 figurent les noms de Jean Maquet, Jacques Lemarchand, Alexandre Koyré, Éric Weil, Jean Chauveau, Georges Ambrosino, Georges Balandier, Théodore Fraenkel, Albert Ollivier, Maurice Blanchot, Aimé Patri, Jean Piel, Alexandre Kojève, etc.…
