Early life

Career

Rivain was a political writer and editor.[1] He was the author of several books on French politics, where he championed nationalism and rejected socialism. He published a collection of letters addressed to Marshal Philippe Pétain in 1944.[2]

Rivain was influenced by ideas of Charles Maurras and by Italian fascism.[3][4] He even moved to Italy with his son to experience fascism, and called for closer relations between France and Italy.[5] Meanwhile, he was the founder of the Cercle Joseph de Maistre, a think tank which promoted the ideas of French philosopher Joseph de Maistre.[4] Furthermore, he argued that Georges Sorel's ideas on corporations and cooperatives were elitist.[3]

Rivain was the co-founder of La Revue critique des idées et des livres, a journal associated with the Action Française, in 1908.[4][5] From 1908 Lucien Moreau and Jean Rivain were the key contributors to the review.[6]
