Focusing on the four most prominent writers affiliated with the French Communist Party (PCF) -- Henri Barbusse, Romaine Rolland, Paul Eluard, and Louis Aragon -- Andrew Sobanet traces the rise and evolution of the Stalin cult in France from the late 1920s through the 1950s. Barbusse was the author of the first official biography of Stalin, and the work served as a prototype for the dictator's official biographies into the early Cold War period. The PCF was one of the most important Communist parties, and these writers helped in significant ways to shape Stalinist propaganda in the international Communist sphere, including within the USSR. Fundamental to Generation Stalin is an exploration of complicity with authoritarianism on the part of PCF-affiliated writers, who were often cast as intellectual and moral guides. Sobanet provides analysis of how these writers used a variety of genres -- biography, novel, drama, film, poetry, essays, reportage -- to support dictatorial leadership. Focusing on French nationalism and the French "culture of commemoration" used to reinforce party doctrine, Generation Stalin analyzes what it was to be a French Stalinist"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 263-283) and index. 505 0 $a Henri Barbusse and Stalin's official biography -- Romain Rolland and the politics of terror -- Paul Eluard and Stalin's seventieth birthday -- Louis Aragon and the great patriotic war. 600 10 $a Stalin, Joseph, $d 1878-1953. 610 20 $a Parti communiste français $x History $y 20th century. 600 17 $a Stalin, Joseph, $d 1878-1953. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00053304 610 27 $a Parti communiste français. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00549705 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Foreign public opinion, French. 650 0 $a Communism and intellectuals $z France. 650 0 $a Intellectuals $x Political activity $z France. 650 0 $a Communists $z France $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Communism and intellectuals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870502 650 7 $a Communists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870612 650 7 $a Intellectuals $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975813 650 7 $a Public opinion, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354110 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 $a Soviet Union. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210281 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sobanet, Andrew, author. $t Generation Stalin $d Bloomington, Indiana : Indiana University Press, [2018] $z 9780253038258 $w (DLC) 2018042802 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015845.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5BD89A02F79311E8BA923B1497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
