Louis Blanc: References & Edit History

Louis Blanc’s principal works are Histoire de dix ans, 1830–1840, 5 vol. (1841–44; The History of Ten Years, 1830–1840, 2 vol., 1844–45, reprinted 1969), an attack on the government and person of King Louis-Philippe; and Histoire de la Révolution française, 12 vol. (1847–62), a political, economic, and social interpretation. Leo A. Loubère, Louis Blanc: His Life and His Contribution to French Jacobin-Socialism (1961, reprinted 1980), is a good study combining the biography with a history of socialism in France.
