The refusal to make a career in one of Marc Bloch’s letters (1941) : About A.-V. Jacquet’s Refus de parvenir

Résumé 0

In 1956, Refus de parvenir (Refusing to make a career), by school master and unionist Albert-Vincent Jacquet (1881-1955), was published posthumously. This title, which actualizes a watchword from before the First World War, was born out of the negotiations that pushed various figures of intellectual life (among whom Daniel Halévy, Pierre Monatte, Camille Belliard, Marc Bloch, Lucien Febvre, Yves Delaunay and Eric de Dampierre) to publish a book whose formalism and the politically ambiguous aura of its author did not prepare it for a bright future. Our introduction to Marc Bloch’s letter, as the novel’s preface, shines a light on the birth of this collective project. It is a partially unpublished document, transcribed, here, in full.
