The Curious Circumstances of Flora Tristan’s Death
View through CrossRef
How Jules Puech obtained the papers of Flora Tristan that were on her person when she died in November 1844 in Bordeaux is vital to show the intergenerational transmission of knowledge of ideas and papers among activists that has shaped the construction of this double biography. Until the 1980s, Puech’s papers were kept by his descendants in the family home in Borieblanque, unlike those of Flora Tristan which were removed immediately after her death to Lyon and beyond. Borieblanque held vital clues about the custodial role of Eleonore Blanc, the spiritual daughter who inherited Flora Tristan’s papers. Puech’s account to his family of where Flora Tristan fitted into his busy schedule is invaluable as we read of his response to the opening opportunities from journal editors asking for further publications on Flora Tristan and of the complex network of his acquaintances in activist and university circles that led him to find the Blanc family and their activist connections in the republican and socialist circles of the late nineteenth century.
