This is the central site for a long-term project to research, examine, and respond to the radical collective of writers, theorists, architects, and visual artists who operated in Paris between 1829 and 1835 under the names of the Jeunes France & the Bouzingo, and through them to build a critical understanding of French Romanticist subculture through the historical lens of a continuing politically vigilant Anglophone avant-garde.

Lecture on Avant-Garde Publishing of the 1830s for the Aldus Society

Freed From a Parchment Jail: A Bibliographic History of the Birth of the Avant-Garde

Here's the slideshow (in PDF form) from my presentation a couple weeks ago to the The Aldus Society - Columbus, Ohio​; it covers the part of the Revenant Archive that deals with the Bouzingo and the development of the avant-garde from 1825-1840. It even contains one or two new items that have not yet been publicly announced or added to the online catalogue.
The slides are fairly informative and though there will be some gaps/vaguenesses where I was lecturing, it still has quite a bit of information:
