Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a French Jewish army officer, spent twelve
years from 1894 to 1906, in solitary confinement for a crime he did
not commit. Amidst the dramatic and shifting revelations of what
would come to be known throughout the world as the Dreyfus Affair,
four influential authors reassessed their moral convictions on the
civic questions posed by this abuse. Emile Zola, Maurice Barres,
Bernard Lazare, and Marcel Proust offered fictive articulations of
response to these questions. Among them, national citizenship and
the roles of secularism and public education, as well as tolerance
of Jews and other immigrants to France, loom largest. The four
authors considered dilemmas still unresolved in the modern
democratic cultures of Europe today. Since the Dreyfus Affair
coincided with Europe's first efforts to design legislation that
would separate religions and states, moreover, the writers in
effect were teaching readers to negotiate individual desire and
social purpose and to assess their own values as they and we all
weather the winds of change blowing from Dreyfus.
