When Parisian workers took to the streets in February 1848, they adopted the rallying cry of droit au travail. In her examination of this cause celebre of France’s Second Republic, Rebecca Powers shows that the redefinition of labour as a basic right sprang not only from political debates but also directly from contemporary literature.
