Why is the anniversary of the French Revolution celebrated on July
14, the day the Bastille was stormed, rather than on August 26, the
day the Declaration of the Rights of Man was signed? Why don't the
French do as the Americans, who see their revolution epitomized by
the signing of the Declaration of Independence? "There is surely
something to be learned from contemplating the difference between
these two ways of representing a revolution," writes James
Heffernan. In this volume, he and 13 other distinguished scholars
consider representations of the French Revolution in literature,
historical narratives, and art as central to understanding it.
Challenging the idea that history is a body of fact separable from
fictions wrought by literature and the visual arts, they show that
study of a major historical event inevitably leads to study of
representation.
