YEAR TWO - history and context (Thursday)

Yale University lecture on Dreyfus case - 19th century French History. In the same series there are lectures on Anarchism, the Paris Commune, socialism, the radical press... Zola is normally seen as the father of investigative journalism, and Dreyfus the classic miscarriage of justice story. Attitudes to Dreyfus shaped the emergence of the political left and right through the late 19th century and early 20th century and the Yale lecturer traces it all through to the third reich and modern racial and non-racial politics. So this is interesting background. French press and politics in the Thrid Republic very influential in understanding development of the press in England and America later.

Year One: A message from the library: Re: Bertrand Russell

Russell, R., A history of western philosophy. We agreed to photocopy time but we now realise we have to withdraw it as it is in breach of copyright
regulations and students cannot photocopy multiple chapters. We are very sorry for that and apologise to the students. We do have some copies of the book in the library and we managed to save one which we have made a four hour loan, but, unfortunately, the others went out as standard loan. Once they come back, we will make another one 7 day loan, so we will have 1 four hour loan, 1 7 day loan and two standard loan.

CHRIS HORRIE NOTES: this doesn't matter because today I found the whole book free online at Google Books - go to: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Ey94E3sOMA0C&dq=bertrand+russell+western+civilization+text+online&printsec=frontcover&source=in&hl=en&ei=WOG9SumiGNzKjAf_kcg0&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=11#v=onepage&q=&f=false
