  The Crisis of the modern World, the New World Order and Kali Yuga
Maurras was a poet, a philosopher, a writer of elegant, classic French, a formidable journalist and polemicist, and thus an intellectual giant within the French canon.
Maurras was born on 20 April 1868 in Martigues, then a picturesque fishing village on the edge of the Etang de Berre in the Bouches-du-Rhone, near Marseilles, a strange, watery end-piece of France.
Maurras was, crucially, a talented propagandist who understood the theatrical potential of public events.

 Action Française - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ideology of the Action Française was dominated by the thought of Charles Maurras, following his adherence and his conversion of the movement's founders to monarchism.
It should not be considered that the movement intended to restore real power to the king, merely to set him up as a rallying point in distinction to the Third Republic of France which was considered corrupt and unworkable by many of its opponents, whom they hoped to come to their banner.
These four groups of "internal foreigners" Maurras called les quatre états confédérés and were all considered to be part of "Anti-France." Of course he was also opposed to the Communists, and the left in general, but antagonism against them did not have to be constructed or marshalled.

 Charles Maurras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Maurras (April 20, 1868 - November 16, 1952) was a French monarchist poet, critic and leader and principal thinker of the reactionary Action Française movement.
Maurras quickly became influential in the movement, and converted Pujo and Vaugeois to monarchism, which became the movement's principal cause.
The condemnation was lifted in 1938, the same year that Maurras was elected to the Académie française.

 Action Française - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Action Française is a French Monarchist movement and periodical founded by Maurice Pujo and Henri Vaugeois and whose principal ideologist was Charles Maurras.
It was founded in 1898 during the Dreyfus affair, partly in reaction to the left wing revitalisation that was happening around the defense of the army captain.
Maurras was an agnostic whose advocacy of Catholicism was due to his belief that it was a factor of social cohesion and stability and to its importance in French history.

 BOOKED SOLID - JUNE 1988
But not only does de Catalogne mention Maurras, Bob Neree reveals that both men actually worked together in the 1920's, time at which Maurras was proposing to re-establish monarchy in France.
Strong parallels exist between Maurras' texts and de Catalogne's preface to the "Oeuvres Essentielles" and they all lead to one main concept: the perennity of power assured by hereditary transmission.
Charles Maurras wrote: "The son of a diplomat or a merchant will find, in his father's conversations, in his family and society circles, in the tradition and customs that will surround and support him, the means to advance more rapidly that anyone else, either in commerce or diplomacy.

 1890-1914 : a traditional education
Charles de Gaulle was born in Lille on 22 November 1890 into a Catholic and patriotic family.
The Jesuits and the Assumptionists gave the young Charles a sound, broadly-based and humanist education.
At the time of the Dreyfus affair, Henri de Gaulle was convinced of the captain's innocence of the charge of treason and actually expressed pro-Dreyfus views fairly rare for one from his social background.

A note of caution needs to be injected into the Australian debate about the fairness or otherwise of his excommunication, for there is an "X" factor that seems always to be overlooked in discussions of Integrisme, (the French term for the doctrines of Archbishop Lefebvre); and that factor is politics.
Maurras 'despised' the three 'evil doctrines' of the French Revolution: Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.
For him, as for Maurras, this is a 'betrayal', since salvation of the world lies in a return to the pre-Vatican II and even pre-Revolutionary France 'past' — to monarchical rule.

En terminant cette étude, l'auteur relève avec beaucoup de justesse que l'université française a toujours privilégié la dimension politique de Maurras, cantonnant son activité littéraire aux années de jeunesse, avant la fondation de la ligue d'Action française.
Maurras parvint ainsi à utiliser des notoriétés acquises sur deux plans différents pour accroître son influence, mise au service d'une part de son ambition académique et d'autre part de la diffusion des idées du nationalisme intégral.
Maurras fut indéniablement, en bon politique, un joueur de talent qui sut utiliser avec habileté son image.

 Charles Maurras. Sprawa Dreyfusa
Określenie to jest słuszne: Maurras stworzył zwartą doktrynę kontrrewolucyjną i nacjonalistyczną, na wiele dziesięcioleci konstytuując myślenie francuskiej prawicy.
Maurras z pasją rzuca się w obronie prawa, Armii i Kościoła, widząc w Dreyfusie rodzaj anty-Sokratesa, symbol zdrady i kosmopolityzmu demo-liberalnych elit.
Maurras postanowił użyć do walki z doktrynami rewolucyjnymi nowoczesnych nauk, takich jak biologia, socjologia, historia, psychologia, aby na ich podstawie wykazać niemożność stworzenia Wielkiej Francji w reżimie republikańskim, w ustroju pozbawionym suwerena, gdzie nie istnieje pojęcie 'dobra wspólnego', a państwo rozrywane jest przez frakcje i partie.

 Notes sur un article du Bulletin Charles Maurras (- -)
Le Bulletin Charles Maurras (16, rue du Berry 36250 Niherne), édité par l'association Anthinéa, consacre son numéro d'avril 2001 à une enquête sur Charles Maurras.
Alors qu'il a passé un temps extraordinaire à commenter au jour le jour la politique politicienne, Maurras a été incapable d'analyser le mouvement de la modernité, d'étudier la montée de la bourgeoisie, d'énoncer la moindre considération théorique sur la philosophie du droit, le paradigme de l'échange, l'essor de la technique, les conditions du changement social.
L'âge d'or du maurrassisme " a correspondu à cette période où le jeune Maurras, fédéraliste et antichrétien, rêvait d''helléniser le monde' et se disait persuadé qu''un socialisme, libéré de l'élément démocratique et cosmopolite, peut aller au nationalisme comme un gant bien fait à une belle main' ".

 Review of Frank Field   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Charles Péguy, Ernest Psichari and Rupert Brooke looked forward to the war as a purge of the vices of peace; but they died in the first weeks or months, before they could testify to its reality.
For writers too old to fight, such as Charles Maurras, H.G. Wells, Bernard Shaw, Rudyard Kipling, and Romain Rolland, the war was an interlude--and scarcely a glorious one--in long careers of punditry before and after 1914-18.
The nativism and obscurantism of writers like Maurras and Péguy suggested that French intellectuals were a more organic part of their society than British ones.

Wards suggestion that the influence of Maurras, indeed the intention of Maurras, is to pervert his disciples and students away from Christianity.
Maurras was, of course, the main influence on Salazar, who (along with Franco) did weave Fascism and Catholicism together (mentioned by Eagleton as exceptions).
I had to read a lot of Maurras for my doctoral thesis (on Lusitanian Integralism, the Portuguese version) and remember how surprised I was by his utter mediocrity and unpleasantness, given the number of outstanding poets and writers that admired him.
