The essays in this collection, drawn from a Hofstra University
bicentennial conference on the French Revolution, seek to come to
terms, often from conflicting points of view, with the complex
relationship between events and their representations. The question
'How did the lived experience that eventually became known as the
French Revolution come to be organized?' provides a common thread
for the collection. Individual chapters examine the Revolution from
the vantage points of theology and philosophy, theater and
literature, as well as politics and history.
As the contributors show, the French Revolution was more than a
series of political events that took place in one European country
at the end of the 18th century. Instead, it was a trans-historical,
multi-national, and multi-cultural discourse. It served as a point
of reference by which and through which a complex of cultural
values and styles could be defined, and as a model (even a negative
model) for the elaboration of ideologies, and of political and
administrative strategies for bureaucracies around the world. An
invaluable collection for all students of the Revolution and its
impact.
