Charles Marie Photius Maurras
Charles Marie Photius Maurras (1868-1952) was a French political writer and reactionary. Moving spirit and principal spokesman of Action Française, he was an antidemocrat, racist, monarchist, and worshiper of tradition and of the organic nation-state.

Charles Maurras
French author, politician, poet, and critic (1868–1952)
