Two centuries after the French Revolution, Maximilien Robespierre
is still regarded as its towering figure. Perceived by some as the
champion, indeed the incarnation, of the Revolution's purest and
noblest ideals, among others he will always be remembered as the
reasoned advocate of the Terror, the defender of mass killing
during the Revolution's darkest and most tragic phase. This volume
comprises essays by an array of international scholars and examines
Robespierre's life and work from three main perspectives: his
ideology and vision of the Revolution, his role in the period's
tumultous politics, culminating in his year on the Committee of
Public Safety in 1793-94, and nineteenth- and twentieth-century
representations of the Incorruptible - by historians, dramatists
and writers of fiction. This book illuminates many facets of
Robespierre's career, thought and reputation, and provides a
balanced and up-to-date appraisal of one of the great figures of
European history.
