This study offers a new interpretation of the debates over
education and politics in the early years of the French Revolution.
Following these debates from the 1760s to the Terror (1793-94) and
putting well-known works in dialogue with previously neglected
sources, it situates education at the centre of revolutionary
contests over citizenship, participatory politics and
representative government. The book takes up education's role in a
dramatic period of uncertainty and upheaval, anxiety and ambition.
It traces the convergence of philosophical, political, ideological
and practical concerns in Ancien Regime debates and revolutionary
attempts to reform education and remake society. In doing so, it
provides new insight into the relationship between the
Enlightenment and the French Revolution and sheds light on how
revolutionary legislators and ordinary citizens worked to make a
new sort of politics possible in eighteenth-century France. -- .
