1832: the year that changed France 

with Maurice Samuels, professor of French at Yale

For all ages. 

It’s the year of the great cholera outbreak, France’s first anti-Semitic scandal, a failed royalist revolution and the setting for Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables. Direct from quarantine in Michigan, Maurice Samuels – who teaches the literature and culture of nineteenth-century France at Yale – will explain why 1832 is a pivotal year that still impacts modern-day France. He’s the author of the just released book The Betrayal of the Duchess, about duchesse de Berry’s quest to reconquer the French throne for the Bourbons in 1832 – and the advisor who betrayed her.
