Louis-Auguste Blanqui (1805-1881) was one of the most important and
controversial figures in nineteenth-century French revolutionary
politics, and he played a major role in all of the great upheavals
that punctuated his life - the insurrections of 1830, 1848 and
1870-71. Adamant that a just and egalitarian society can only be
established by revolutionary means, he recognised that no
revolution can succeed if it fails to overcome the coercive
resources of the state, and no revolutionary government can endure
if it betrays the principles that alone earn and deserve mass
support. At odds with followers of Proudhon on the one hand and of
Marx on the other, while Blanqui commanded unrivalled authority in
French revolutionary circles during parts of his own lifetime he
was quickly forgotten (if not derided) after his death. This is the
first collection of Blanqui's political writings ever published in
English, and it includes new and complete translations of his best
known texts: Instructions for an Armed Uprising, and Eternity by
the Stars. With material drawn from all his main publications and
speeches, as well as from the full sweep of his voluminous
manuscripts and correspondence, this wide-ranging anthology will
enable anglophone readers and political activists to arrive at
their own critical assessment of Blanqui's thought and legacy for
the first time.
