Édouard Drumont (1844-1917) was not only able to bring to light, with extraordinary clairvoyance, the mechanisms of the harmful action of the Jews and the Freemasons on the French society of his time. He also greatly contributed, as Charles Maurras pointed out, to lay the foundations of modern nationalism. Despite its importance in the history of ideas, his thinking remains largely unknown, including within the national right. One of the reasons is undoubtedly that his abundant work is more a matter of social history than of political doctrine. The immense interest of the work of Joseph-Marie Rouault, in the elaboration of La Vision de Drumont, is to have released the philosophical, political and social thought of Edouard Drumont from current events, anecdotes, digressions and various considerations in which it was somewhat buried.
