Arthur Meyer, directeur du Gaulois : un patron de presse juif, royaliste et antidreyfusard
Traces the life of Meyer (1844-1924), the Jewish, royalist, anti-Dreyfusard owner and director of the conservative paper "Gaulois", founded in 1868. Pp. 127-184 deal with the difficulties Meyer encountered as a Jew. He fought a duel with Drumont in 1886, having been attacked by Drumont in "La France juive". During the Dreyfus Affair he cultivated the paradox of being a Jew and an anti-Dreyfusard, not sharing the antisemitic views of "Gaulois" readers. Also describes the defamation campaign conducted by the Action Française against Meyer and "Gaulois", viewed as a monarchist competitor, in the years before World War I. Meyer was denounced as a Jew, despite the fact that he had converted to Catholicism in 1901. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism)
