Author Information

Levi was the son of a shoemaker in Paris; he attended a seminary and began to study to enter the Roman Catholic priesthood. However, while at the seminary he fell in love, and left without being ordained. He wrote a number of minor religious works: Des Moeurs et des Doctrines du Rationalisme en France ( Of the Moral Customs and Doctrines of Rationalism in France, 1839) was a tract within the cultural stream of the Counter-Enlightenment. La Mere de Dieu ( The Mother of God, 1844) followed and, after leaving the seminary, two radical tracts, L'Evangile du Peuple ( The Gospel of the People, 1840), and Le Testament de la Liberte ( The Testament of Liberty ), published in the year of revolutions, 1848, led to two brief prison sentences.
