The Couch

the Couch (Coulonges-on-the Autize then Paris) is a Périodique French founded by Jean Rivain and Henri Martineau and directed by this last. This semi-monthly (except some exceptions) appeared of January/February 1909 at July/December 1958. From December 1928 at June 1929, the Couch contains a separate section entitled the " Newspaper of Francis James ".

Near to the leading line of the critical Re-examined of the ideas and the books founded by Eugene Marsan and Jean Rivain, the Couch was a review littéaire asserting ideas of Charles Maurras and the French Action. This periodical defended a literary Néo-classicisme derived from the École Romance and close to the designs of Pierre Lasserre and Henri Clouard. Via Henri Martineau, the Couch contributed to the redécouverte of Stendhal, the notoriety of Paul-Jean Toulet, and remained attached to the tradition vis-a-vis the rise of the avant-gardes.
