This book is an anthology of the writings of Jean Jaures, a central figure of French socialism in the period leading up to World War I. Born in 1859, and killed in 1914 just a few days before the outbreak of the conflict, Jaures remains one of the most celebrated politicians in France. His writings in this anthology touch on the subjects most dear to him, which were also some of the great political themes of his time. In this book are writings on war and pacifism, on colonialism and anti-colonialism, and on the central themes of socialism of this era, such as reformism and revolution. Despite Jaures' notoriety in France, he is not well known abroad. This book, a corpus of his emblematic writings, aims to make Jaures known to readers outside France unfamiliar with his work. Jean-Numa Ducange is Professor in Contemporary History at the Université de Rouen, France, and a member of the Institut Universitaire de France. He is a specialist in the historiography of the French Revolution, the history of French and German-speaking leftwingers and the history of Marxism. He is co-director of Actuel Marx (PUF). Elisa Marcobelli is Postdoctoral Fellow at the Université de Picardie, France, and a Research Associate at the EUROSOC Project at the Université de Rouen, France. Her doctoral thesis concerns French, German and Italian socialists' opposition to the war (18891915) and was published in 2020.
