Choosing Terror: Virtue, Friendship and Authenticity in the French Revolution examines the leaders of the French Revolution - Robespierre and his fellow Jacobins - and particularly the gradual process whereby many of them came to 'choose terror'. These men led the Jacobin Club between 1789 and 1794, and were attempting to establish new democratic politics in France. Exploring revolutionary politics through the eyes of these leaders, and against a political backdrop of a series of traumatic events, wars, and betrayals, Marisa Linton portrays the Jacobins as complex human beings who were influenced by emotions and personal loyalties, as well as by their revolutionary ideology. The Jacobin leaders' entire political careers were constrained by their need to be seen by their supporters as 'men of virtue', free from corruption and ambition, and concerned only with the public good. In the early stages of the Revolution, being seen as 'men of virtue' empowered the Jacobin leaders, and aided them in their efforts to forge their political careers. However, with the onset of war, there was a growing conviction that political leaders who feigned virtue were 'the enemy within', secretly conspiring with France's external enemies. By Year Two, the year of the Terror, the Jacobin identity had become a destructive force: in order to demonstrate their own authenticity, they had to be seen to act virtuously, and be prepared, if the public good demanded it, to denounce and destroy their friends, and even to sacrifice their own lives. This desperate thinking resulted in the politicians' terror, one of the most ruthless of all forms of terror during the Revolution. Choosing Terror seeks neither to cast blame, nor to exonerate, but to understand the process whereby such things can happen.

"From late 1792 to the summer of 1794, the young French Republic was subject to a reign of institionalised terror - in many ways the prcursor of Stalin's Great Terror of the 1930s. The Republic founded on liberty, equality and fraternity degenerated into a nightmare of paralysing fear nad panic, of suspicion and betrayal. Personified by Robespierre and Saint-Just, the Terror convulsed and very nearly ruined France - until they too met their fate under Dr Guillotin's new invention. That extraordinary, blood thirsty period comes vividly to life in this book; by mining the original French sources - contemporary documents, eye-witness accounts, reports from the dreaded Committee for public safety. The author brilliantly recreates the deadly, paranoid atmosphere of the time. He shows that the Terror was not just confined to Paris - the Terror cut a swathe across France. In Nantes, thousands of prisoners were dragged from their cells and drowned in the Loire. In Lyon, hundreds of rebels were mown down into mass graves by grapeshot. And yet amidst the horror there are also stories of great dignity and heroism, audacious escapes, and the pathos of heart-wrenching last letters written by men and women prisoners in the grim Conciergerie, awaiting the final ride in the tumbrels through the streets of Paris to the guillotine"--Provided by publisher.

Glory and Terror is a vivid and often gory history of the darker side of the French Revolution. Through an examination of contemporary visual and literary representations of executions, funerals, processions and ceremonies it brings the often horrific events of the time to life. Honing in on seven real life cases, the author recounts and interprets: * the public autopsy performed on the corpse of Mirabeau * the exhumation and transportation of Voltaire's body to the Pantheon * the public torture, murder and subsequent mutilation of the Princesse de Lamballe * the agonizingly slow death of Robespierre. Anyone who enjoys dazzling cultural history in the vein of Robert Darnton, Carlo Ginzburg and Anthony Grafton will revel in this intelligent and original work.

The Afterlives of the Terror explores how those who experienced the mass violence of the French Revolution struggled to come to terms with it. Focusing on the Reign of Terror, Ronen Steinberg challenges the presumption that its aftermath was characterized by silence and enforced collective amnesia. Instead, he shows that there were painful, complex, and sometimes surprisingly honest debates about how to deal with its legacies. As The Afterlives of the Terror shows, revolutionary leaders, victims' families, and ordinary citizens argued about accountability, retribution, redress, and commemoration. Drawing on the concept of transitional justice and the scholarship on the major traumas of the twentieth century, Steinberg explores how the French tried, but ultimately failed, to leave this difficult past behind. He argues that it was the same democratizing, radicalizing dynamic that led to the violence of the Terror, which also gave rise to an unprecedented interrogation of how society is affected by events of enormous brutality. In this sense, the modern question of what to do with difficult pasts is one of the unanticipated consequences of the eighteenth century's age of democratic revolutions.

The Reign of Terror continues to fascinate scholars as one of the bloodiest periods in French history, when the Committee of Public Safety strove to defend the first Republic from its many enemies, creating a climate of fear and suspicion in revolutionary France. R. R. Palmer's fascinating narrative follows the Committee's deputies individually and collectively, recounting and assessing their tumultuous struggles in Paris and their repressive missions in the provinces. A foreword by Isser Woloch explains why this book remains an enduring classic in French revolutionary studies.

"This volume brings together seventeen studies that were originally presented as papers at the nineteenth annual Colloquium in Nineteenth-Century French Studies held at the University of Kansas in 1993. The contributors all consider one facet or another of the play of terror in nineteenth-century France." "In the wake of the French Revolution - and its most enduring image, that of the historical Terror - all aspects of life in France, both public and private, were to be fundamentally changed forever. Long-standing balances of power and authority had been upset, and new tensions had been created that would continue to play themselves out over the course of the following century." "In a number of cases, the focus of this volume is on the representation - literary, historical, or artistic - of the Terror itself, whether in novels such as Hugo's Quatrevingt-treize or Balzac's Une tenebreuse affaire, or in the art Salon of 1827-28. More often, however, contributors consider terror in its more general acceptation of fear or intense anxiety experienced in the face of violence, coercion, or intimidation."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
