The paper sets out to examine the literary impulses at the heart of Charles Maurras’ (1868-1952) philosophy, namely, the doctrine of integral nationalism, which signified French literary nationalism in the 20th century. The author finds that, in Maurras’ view, the concept of ‘integral’ was inseparable from the ‘monarchy’, with the latter destined to blend together the real social oppositions spawned by various anarchies, be it political, religious, familial, university-based, economic or even literary ones.
