  often-expressed contempt for 'theorizers' was based on the Romantic theory of the regenerative power of primitive spontaneity. He interpreted the unrest among the peoples of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires in the 1840s as the expression of elemental forces which were destined to sweep away all the artificial systems and institutions that sought to suppress them. This spirit of instinctive revolt, 'the sole creative force in history' , was to be found at its purest in the most pri...

Yet Bodin, like many other royalist magistrates of the time, openly collaborated with the League.

But he seems to have been driven by fears not only for his office and his property, but perhaps for his life as well; now, as in the past, he was under suspicion of heresy. He stood...
